Mega Hike!

On our last day at the Grand Canyon, we tackled the Bright Angel Trail. 2,100 ft elevation and 3 miles down and then back up again. This trail seemed easier than the South Kaibab Trail. Maybe the switchbacks were not as steep. After the trail, we sampled some fudge at the Maswik Lodge in the park (and bought some -- yum). For sunset, we rode our bikes over to the rim and caught the last rays of the sun, and the moonrise over the canyon.

One of two tunnels carved for the trail.

The other tunnel...

The cliffs above the trail were quite austere.
