SW Road Trip: In the Grand Canyon



Chad and I found a trail we wanted to hike in the Grand Canyon; the South Kaibab trail. It is just a short shuttle ride to the trailhead from the visitor center. Even though we had a late start it was a great hike. The pictures say it all.

The hike to Skeleton Point and back was a six mile trip, there and back and took us five hours with adequate breaks. If we had more time a hike to the river would have been awesome but they do not recommend doing so in one day. In fact, they strongly discourage it as you can end up spending a cold night in the canyon unprepared even if you think you are in good shape. Maybe next time!
