It’s been a while since I last visited the Grand Canyon, and one thing I was upset about last time was that I didn’t get to go down. Sure, it’s pretty up top, but who wants to see the canyons without actually going into them. This time would be different. Although Pokin is still recovering and can’t hike, I’m forcing my bud to gear up and go all the way down. PoOn had the idea of doing this hike called Bright Angel Trail, which involves hiking 9.9 miles and descending 4380 feet. Sounds good.
Eric and Po On joined him, and we all had lemonaide at Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the canyon. Nice work. Now it’s time to haul it back up.
Overall I like the Grand Canyon, it’s nice, but definitely better when you do the whole trip. It did take a long time though, next time I’ll make my bud run it. Pokin met us up for part of it, thinking it would be a shorter trek. Little did she know she was just making herself suffer by going down the steep switchbacks to immediately come back up. Sucker!
