Silver Bridge

Day 3 of my Grand Canyon Backpacking trip (February 27th). I was a touch sorry to leave Bright Angel Campground behind and after we crossed the Colorado River on the Silver Bridge I turned to look back towards Phantom Ranch one last time.

The Silver Bridge supports the trans-canyon pipeline and is a feat of engineering. The pipeline transports 500,000 gallons of water from Roaring Springs near the North Rim to Grand Canyon Village on the south rim.

--Sorry for my absence... I have been super busy hiking & biking this week & doing maintenance on the camper. I'll be gone for a bit longer since I have to purchase, transport, & install about 80-100 bags (1.5-2 CF per bag) of mulch in the yard. It is Spring black Friday sale at our local stores so I need to do this now.
