Grand Canyon, South Rim (86.1 miles)

The Grand Canyon is...what can I say, Grand. We arrived and went to the closest lookout point. The view was huge and impressive. We thought we had see it all, but began to realize that it just keeps going. Across was fixed, the easiest bit to comprehend. Side to side the canyon seemed to expand forever. The south side is DRY! There aren't many trees. All of the plants are small and low to the ground. We hiked into the Canyon with the fabulous Ranger Pat Ramsey. We loved it. We have quite a bit to learn before our rim-to-rim hike, March 2010. Mark your calendars!

Ranger Pat gives us pointers along the way.

Taking a break about 1000' below the rim.
