Backpacking, Day 1 of 4. Blizzard hiking down to Santa Maria Spring, then mostly good weather on out. New Rock slide nearer to the cathedral stairs. Pretty hot towards the junction with Tonto.

Crampons definitely needed until the Santa Maria spring.

Lots of good campsites at Monument Creek. Amazingly kept up bathroom facilities. Not sure when it was built but it looks like new! So clean. Ranger warned us about massive mice, and all of our food was kept in a rat sack, but we saw no mice. Could have been the weather. It was chilly, and we has rain at night and in the morning. We saw a lot of ravens and a nice big horn sheep on the eastern ridge.

The Monument itself is a neat tower. As always, the colors of the the grand Canyon don't disappoint! Fantastic views, as expected.
