10-20-12



Me: Our group (minus me) at the start of our Grand Canyon hike! 6:30am.
Clear skies & awesome temps (low of 32, high 71).
From the start we had seemingly endless switchbacks and amazing views!
Mile 3 of our 19 mile trek.
Luckily none of us are afraid of heights.
Um, don't step back any further!
Mike & Abbie; their first time hiking the Grand Canyon!
Me, Janet, Bob, Anna, Troy, Mike and Abbie - in awe and having a fabulous time!
The sunrise hitting the rocks brought out the most amazing glow in the canyon!
We laughed that it often looked like we would follow the person in front of us right off the edge of the cliff.
This is just beautiful!
"We have to hike down that?!"
We saw several groups of mules bringing campers out of the canyon.
Around every corner was another incredible view! This was at mile 6. Almost to the Colorado River.

Grand Canyon hike to be continued...

I'll post pics from the second 1/2 of our Grand Canyon hike tomorrow.
