Bright Angel Trail

One of the days we were in Grand Canyon National Park, we hiked the Bright Angel trail down into the canyon as far as Indian Gardens. We had hoped to backpack all the way to the river but one of the campgrounds was washed out and the other campgrounds full, so we had to day-hike and did so only part way to the river, to the end of the green area visible in the middle right of the photo. The hike was 10 miles (16 km) round trip and we descended 3000 feet (914 m) into the canyon. My eife is visible on the trail on the left of the photo.
