| no partners | | Fit a quick trip up to the Grand Canyon to get some stats in and become more familiar with Bright Angel. I have been on this trail once before, several years ago. That trip involved a camping trip with zero sleep, and I was struggling on BA after descending down South Kaibab.
This trip began in Scottsdale at 2:30 AM. Started descending BA by 6:30 AM and we were back at the car by 12:45 PM. Water was on at Indian Gardens/Havasupai Gardens. The descent was enjoyable and the views were plentiful. Took about 20 minutes to hang out on the beach and then started the trip back out. Storm clouds came in but didn't turn into rain. Big clouds really make the landscape come alive. Climbing out took about 3.5 hours at a moderate pace. No struggle this time.
Looking to do rim to river to rim and Humphreys Peak sometime this year and might do BA instead of SK. I think its more enjoyable despite the extra distance.
Solid day trip. |
