Bright Angel Trail

The photo was taken as my wife and I hiked the Bright Angel trail down into Grand Canyon. We had wanted to do an overnight backpack to the river, but no camping was available, and so we hiked to Indian Gardens, a hike of five miles (8 km) and 3000 feet (914 m) of descent, had our lunch at the campground at Indian Gardens and then hiked the five miles and 3000 feet of ascent back to the rim. The photo looks back up to the rim of the canyon.
