Make a delivery to the Grand Canyon? Woo hoo!

The work done, I started down Bright Angel. Being late in the afternoon, the trail was completely shaded. I paused at the three mile resthouse for a water refill, then decided to keep going down.

Arriving at Indian Gardens just before sunset, I soaked my shirt, took a few photos, then started back up the trail. Met a few nice folks in the dark on the hike out and arrived at the South Rim well after dark by the light of my headlamp. Made it to Maswik Lodge just in time for dinner: a grilled cheese sandwich and fries. After that a few star photos and then the long drive home. I felt like garbage the next morning at work, but it was worth it. Best lunch (dinner?) break hike ever. :D
