Sunset at the Canyon

After climbing back up the South Kaibab Trail, I relaxed for a while and then caught the sunset over the canyon. Total time for the hike: 6 1/2 Hours. Total mileage covered: 14.2 miles. Total Change in elevation from rim to river: 5000 feet. Total insanity of the hiker: You Bet. Driving back to Flagstaff was interesting, as I was pretty tired. Thankfully no elk decided to dance with the van, so I made it back safely. Then I devoured nearly an entire chicken. Date: January 13, 2000.
