The Grand Canyon

    Here are a few pics from the Grand Canyon, with the first one being from a quick stop in Sedona (Bell Rock is in the background.)

Then we have Bright Angel Trail - the most popular one that you hike down to the bottom of the  Canyon.  You start at 7000 feet, and it typically takes 6 to 9 hrs to hike back up.  We passed on this one.

In the last  2 pictures you can see the Colorado River.  These were taken from  

Lipan Point, our favorite viewing spot.  Looking very closely you can see class 8.5 rapids (2nd to last) and a graceful S curve of the river on the last one.  It is 8 miles from where we were standing to the opposite rim.
