South Rim...the "real" Grand Canyon
May 30, 2004
Obviously one can't just drive down into the canyon and back up the
other side to reach South Rim, so getting from Bright Angel to that is
practically a day's drive in and of itself, literally driving around
the Grand Canyon. We stopped for lunch in the middle of nowhere and
played in the Colorado River for a while, which was a lot colder than
we expected.
We reached our campsite just before dusk, where we were able to sit at a look-out point and ponder our intense hike for the next day. We watched the sun go down over the canyon, and the crowd that was there literally cheered.
