5-6-13


___________________
Yesterday's Grand Canyon hike continued...
Being goofy on the beach.
After lunch at the river, Brian and the chicks hiked to Phantom Ranch. We wrote some postcards there that will be carried out by mule US Postal service tomorrow.
Back across the Colorado on a different bridge to the Bright Angel Trail.
Interesting blooms.

Since we were feeling good we decided to do 3 miles extra to Plateau Point.
Beautiful flowers lined the trail.

April
Jane
Plateau Point.
One last look at The Colorado and then we pushed 6 more miles for the top.
It was a tough last stretch to the rim. Maybe there was something to that warning sign?

We made it! We are happy. :-)
Congratulations to the gang here who hiked 22 miles (South Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch and out Bright Angel Trail).
Congrats to Carol who hiked the South Kaibab Trail.
Awesome day!

Also congratulations to our 6 friends who hiked Rim to Rim to Rim today. They started at 1am and all finished between 5 and 6pm. 46 miles round trip - wow! Maybe next year April and I will conquer that.

  1. Charlie and I would have never made it...your friends that did 46 miles must be in perfect physical condition...I think that comes from living in AZ!!!
