Hiking the Canyon

Hiking down the South Kaibab trail. It was about 7 miles long and took us about 5 hours to reach the bottom of the canyon. When we started at 7:30 AM it was snowing and it was quite windy.

View of Colorado River and Black Bridge, we are almost at the bottom!

Phantom Ranch & Bright Angel Trail

Bright Angel Trail. This is the Tonto Trail going across the plateau.
We are getting close to the top, you can tell because there are lots of hikers.

The mules take all of the food down to Phantom Ranch, they also bring the trash out daily.

Waiting for dinner at the canteen. It was pretty cold and windy.
