Hiking in the Canyon

Sat, March 22

Well, the only thing I can say about the Grand Canyon is that no matter how many pictures you see, you can't really imagine what it is like. Or the enormity of it for that matter. We hiked part of the 8 mile rim trail that goes around the south rim from one "scenic overlook" to another. We attempted the Bright Angel trail which goes all the way to the bottom, but didn't get very far because of all the ice on the trail (although the temperature was 60 degrees). Many of the people coming up were advising us against going down so we decided to be wise parents and take our children back up. We did some more hiking on the rim trail and rode the shuttle from one point to another when we got tired.
