Grand Canyon Day Three

Up at 5.30am for an early start, our final four and a half miles of ascent up to the south rim. Quite tough as our legs ( particularly calves) are pretty sore after the three days of trekking. As we got closer to the top the sparseness of other people diminished. Most people visiting the canyon only come to the rim or maybe venture down a mile or two. According to Dan only one percent of visitors go to the bottom of the canyon.
Finally we reach the top and celebrate with a milkshake, before Dan drives us back to Flagstaff for our bus back to Las Vegas.

  1. Fantastic! (Marse has many times tried to persuade me to join her on a canyon trek, but I haven't done so yet).
    Cheers, Gail.
