From September 19th through September 21st, I along with eleven others in my group ventured into the Grand Canyon for a two night stay at the historic Phantom Ranch.
After hiking approximately 31 miles over the three day period, I was worn out, but returned with good stories and, of course, plenty of photos.
Our first day in the Canyon took us from Bright Angel to Phantom Ranch.
Our last day was a tough seven mile trek back to the rim via the South Kaibab trail.
I can't recommend going into the Grand Canyon enough. I understand it isn't for everyone physically to make the trip, but even going in a short ways will give you a much different perspective of the Canyon.
Did you know that only about 1% of the visitors to the Canyon make it all they way to the bottom and back?
Just be safe. Take lots of water and plenty of food
