Hiking the Grand Canyon

I first saw the Grand Canyon in the early 1990s, when I was at Fort Huachuca for some training. I went up there with some classmates. Since then I've wanted to hike the canyon, but most people I know aren't interested in that kind of challenge, or they turn it into some resort stay-over.

On May 17th I finally got to do the famous loop hike: down the South Kaibab Trail and back up the Bright Angel Trail. The 16.4 miles took us 9:45 hours. Ellen, Brenda, Georgie and Ellen's co-worker Stephane all went.
