hiking down

For a person used to climbing mountains it was quite an experience to hike down for a change. It was easy for sure, but we couldn't stop thinking of the necessity to climb back up! Did not make it all the way to the Colorado River, as it's a near impossible endeavour to go down and back up in one day. The trek across the Canyon ("rim to rim") usually takes three days. Have a look at what's hidden beneath the horizon. Another posts from the Canyon to be found here and here.

nightfall at the south rim

First night at the Grand Canyon brought a spectacular sunset (we were a little late, can you believe the parking there!), and deer sightings! Click here for my first post from the South Rim of the Canyon, and here for the Monument Valley post!

First glance at the Grand Canyon. Took a long walk along its south rim. A realization that standing a few miles north, I would be a mile lower was a fun feeling.
