I had never hiked from the Hermit TH down to the Colorado River, so I decided to change that today.

We only saw 3 people on the trail, so we pretty much had the canyon to ourselves.

The weather was near perfect -- a cloudy day with very little wind and good hiking temperatures.

I enjoyed our lunch spot down at the Hermit Rapids -- that is hard to beat.

There was a bit of route finding along Tonto Creek down to the River -- that section was harder than it should have been.

The last mile back to the TH kinda sucked -- lot of stair stepping.

This was an enjoyable hike though -- great scenery; a great destination down at Hermit Rapids; and it was almost eerily quiet for most of the hike.

As far as I am concerned, wintertime is the best time to be at the Grand Canyon!
