Bright Angel Trail

I had made arrangements to walk from the South to the North rim over Memorial Day weekend.During the winter, an avalanche destroyed part of the North Kaibab Trail and the planned hike was replaced by one in which my friend Len, his son Peter, and I walked down the South Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch, camped overnight, and returned to the South rim via Bright Angel Trail. These photos were taken on that trip and are arranged in order starting at the Colorado River going up to the South rim.
