Hippy

Hippy and I were both feeling pretty sick and a strenuous hike was not in either of our best interests, so we decided to just stroll along the Rim Trail for a while. Once you get past the first mile and all the people, this is actually a beautiful hike! The middle few miles are absolutely great. The last 3 miles or so the path is paved and open to bikes. There's not much in the way of hikers or bikers all the way out here, but the pavement takes away a bit from the experience of the nice dirt path that exists for several miles in the middle.

Clouds rolled in and it got blustery and cool, making the bus ride back a welcome shelter. Probably won't do this one again, but not because it wasn't amazing. Just because when I make the trip to the Canyon, I'm usually looking for some more elevation and solitude. If that's not your thing, this is a great alternative. Every mile you go completely changes how the canyon looks.
