Flashback Friday: Hiking the Grand Canyon (Sept. 2005)

 S's Dad enjoys hiking. He'd hiked the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim in a day with each of his children. In Sept. 2005 it was our turn.





We camped the night before on the North Rim.


Posed with the scenic background.


Plotted our course.



Early the next morning we set out.


The way down was fun.


And even breathtaking.



The bottom of the canyon was equally beautiful.





The way up was a little less exciting.


It actually took us so long that it got dark; and we finished around midnight, which made for and 18 hour hike. With Dad as our guide though, we made it back in one piece.


Well, almost in one piece.
