Sunrise is 7AM, sunset is 6pm but due to the canyons can happen an hour later/earlier.
Currently weather is looking 50-60 during the day and mid/high 20s at night. Pretty nice weather.
There are only 3 reliable water sources in the Maze. They form a triangle about 10-12 miles apart. There’s elevation changes as well to take into account. Getting water from the Colorado is a big climb and it’s silty water Lou’s Spring - Down near Ernies Country Spring in South Fork Horse Canyon below the Maze Overlook Colorado River (but 1200ft down and back up)
All the other springs marked on the map are maybes. Shot/Water canyons most likely have water in them.

CMT 2 section trekking poles
These are the lightest poles they make. Two sections only and an EVA grip. Poles alone are 160g each, with small baskets they are 171g each. Replacing wrist straps with 13" piece of 3mm lawson line, and baskets == 158g each. They are very tough. I've bent them while postholing and they are solid. I palm the top of the pole more than gripping it.
