Grand Canyon National Park - 9/05

The Grand Canyon National Park is one of the world's seven natural wonders.  It's our friend Katie's favorite place to hike!!!  Ugh.

The Grand Canyon south rim has awe inspiring color and magnitude.

This south rim view from the eastern most point shows alot of color.

This trail down to Plateau Point in the inner canyon was our major conditioner on the trip!

Colorado River from the inner canyon at Plateau Point.

Mule rides to Plateau Point are popular. We hiked the 12 miles round-trip instead.

Prickly pear cactus blooms at Indian Gardens inspired us to buy some tasty jelly.

We took several breathers on the way back up 3300'.

Rafting trips were visible like this one at Hanes Rapids.

The colors of the Grand Canyon change dramatically with the sun rising or setting.

Sunsets improve with time!
