On The South Rim
The South Rim at the
Grand Canyon can be a very crowded place. This April wasn't too crowed
compared to last June, but the weather was awful. It either rained or
snowed the whole time making it even more beautiful.
South Kaibab Trail
The South Kaibab Trail is
very steep without any water access. I was happy to be going down since
everyone coming up looked very tired and sore.
Phantom Ranch
Phantom Ranch is like the
secret place in the Grand Canyon. Its a mile straight down from the rim of
the south side and a long nine and half mile walk to get there. I stayed
at the Bright Angel Campground next to the Phantom Ranch.
Bright Angel Trail
Bright Angel Trail is
steep, but it is the easiest trail to hike out of the canyon. Half way up
is Indian Gardens Campground where I stayed. I also went out to Plateau
Point to see the Colorado River.
