We had decided long ago, when the opportunity to walk across the Grand Canyon presents itself we would grab it. Well the time came and we did it!
This was no ordinary lets stroll across the canyon trip. We did this while taking a class from the Grand Canyon field institute. Yes, it was a geology class. Fun times at every turn.
We spent one night at the north rim, hiked down to Cottonwood Camp. The next day found us at the Colorado River at Bright Angel camp where we spent two nights. From there we started upward, spending one night at Indian Garden and then to the top. Wow! It really was fun times at every turn.
Fran standing atop the Cocconino sandstone. That is the Bright Angel fault, canyon and trail in the background. Our home for the next few days.
Hiking a narrow section through the Redwall limestone, a fantastic cliff former throughout the canyon.
The silver bridge crossing the mighty Colorado. It was hard to believe we had been canoeing the same river not so long ago albeit a few hundred miles north.
On the way back up at Panorama point. It was a great view looking back on where we had been.
At the top, we corralled some nice people to take a picture to end our trip.
