We spent a beautiful weekend in May hiking the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim from the North Kaibab Trail to the Bright angel Trail. I got roped into the whole event by my brother, aunt, and husband who wanted to make the trip. My aunt and brother had done it multiple times before, but Daniel and I were first timers.
My honest opinion on the whole trip, it was more difficult than I imagined, but also so much more beautiful than I thought it would be. The whole trip down the North Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch was beautiful, especially in the early morning light. The walls of the canyon were so vibrant and there were so many beautiful plants, I definitely thought it would be more of a desert feel. The trip up the Bright Angel Trail was difficult, but also really beautiful.
I feel like were were pretty well prepared, having regularly exercised extra so we could be prepared for the trip. We also were well prepared with water and food thanks to the suggestions of those that went before. It was nice to go in mid-may because it did get pretty hot in the afternoon, but it was also not too bad, it definitely could have been so much worse.
Alright here are the pictures to prove the journey. I'm so glad I did it when I did. It was an awesome experience!
