Grand Canyon Day 2



We stopped at IMAX to watch Grand Canyon Secrets and then to the Canyon to hike down Bright Angel Trail..we went 1.5 miles down in 45 minutes, but it took two hours to get back up to the top...lots of stops to rest and take in the scenery.  It was 65 at the top, and 80 at the bottom.  We then went near the East entrance to watch the sunset.  Another great day in this gorgeous area.




A welcome restroom at the 1.5 mile stop..after seeing people coming up red faced and breathing heavy, I knew I didn't want to go any further


thought there should be a great sign at the rest stop, and here it is!


The donkey rides weren't available..this is one of the staffers coming up with pack mules..how I wanted to jump aboard

Great views on the way up

A mountain goat


almost at the top

then on to Desert View for the sunset

the sky was so pretty all around the sunset


a great day..and on to another great place
