This hike begins at the South Kaibab Trail
trailhead a few miles east of Grand Canyon Village.
Note that we have pictures from the
descent (South Kaibab Trail) and flat (Tonto Trail) portions of the
hike, but none from the ascent (Bright Angel Trail) portion.
Apparently, by that time, picture-taking gave way to more immediate
concerns, such as placing one foot in front of the other only 10,000
more times. |

| This hike
always begins with a shot of the entire group as they're about to head
off. This is usually the last time for quite a few hours that
there is so much smiling going on. |

| Scott must be taking this
picture as he's not in it. It's not clear why Caitlin and Kristen
are crouching. |
|
Scott IS in this one (far
left), and perhaps the pose he struck is an indication of why he was
asked to TAKE, rather than be IN, the photo at left. |

| It's a bird, it's a plane!
Or perhaps neither. |

| For the most
part, the day was cloudier and cooler than we had experienced for our
hikes over the previous years. It was still very pleasant for
hiking with temperatures at the rim in the 50s and in the canyon several
degrees warmer. |
