Grand Canyon Hike 2010


Our big adventure this Spring was our Southwest trip and hike down into the Grand Canyon. What a wonderful adventure. We had rain, hail, snow, rainbows and sunshine which made this an adventure we will remember for many years. We can't wait to do it again!

South Kaibab trail- It is hailing as we started out. 7.5 miles to the Colorado river and our camp site.




The rainbows really helped encourage us!



A much needed lunch break.




Finally, the Colorado River in sight.




Hiking out the Bright Angel trail. 9.5 miles out



The "Devil's corkscrew" section of the trail.

Finally we made it back to the rim and quess what, it is snowing!
