Yesterday we hiked out of the Grand Canyon after spending four nights at the bottom. As I mentioned earlier this week, the Grand Canyon is where Jay’s and my relationship was born and by now it feels like a second home to me. This was my first time staying overnight at Phantom Ranch and it was an amazing week. These pictures are ones that I took from the South Rim and from the South Kaibab Trail. Tomorrow I will add a series of pictures that I took from Phantom Ranch and the North Kaibab Trail along Bright Angel Creek. Of course these photos do not do justice to the wonder of the canyon, but I hope they can share some of its beauty with you.

Gorgeous scenery and gorgeous photos! I’m assuming that you went from the south rim, right?
Yes, we hiked from the South Rim. There are two trails to Phantom Ranch from the South Rim, Bright Angel and South Kaibab. We took South Kaibab both ways.
WOW! Your photography is fabulous! I think you may have a back-up career.
Thank you, at some pint I would love to take classes!
You can tell I was working on the brewery review post when I wrote that…
