Day 1 of my Grand Canyon Backpacking trip (from February 25th). At this point we were about halfway down the trail towards our destination of the Bright Angel Campground.
@dutchothotmailcom thanks Esther… I loved every minute of the entire trip. The landscape changed so much during the 7 mile hike on this trail… looking back at the rim and seeing where I was and where I still had to go was kind of astounding.
@ludwigsdiana thanks… it is pretty incredible to see how the trail twists and turns and having all those switchbacks keeps it from being too steep.
@ljmanning thanks for pointing out the person Laura… I did not even notice them until I read your comment. The trail has lots of switchbacks so it is never too steep… plus I had trekking poles and they helped me keep my balance… it really wasn’t that difficult… just a test of endurance more than anything.
@marlboromaam thanks Mags.
