 Starting my hike in the Grand Canyon! My path - down Bright Angel trail through Indian Garden and to Plateau Point
|
|
 Amusing warning picture.. This warning is *everywhere* in all their pamphlets and everything
So like a good sheep, I comply and did not hike all the way down.
But I should have!!! I was ready to hike more after done with my hike which was most of the way anyways. Grr!! :)
|
|
 Early views on the way down.. You can see the trail farther down..
even all the way to Plateau Point, which is the where the trail hits the drop off to the river
|
|
 Another view..
|
|
 From the trail..
|
|
 This is past Indian Garden, on the trail out to Plateau Point..
I am looking back at what I hiked down! Sweet!
|
|
 This is the trail down to the river.. you can see a group of mules at the first bend.
|
|
 The view from Plateau Point... Colorado River woooot!! :)
Note the big rock formation in the top right corner of the picture.. this is it at 10mm.
|
|
 And this is at 50mm.
|
|
 And this is at 150mm :) Neat.
|
|
 There was a *FAT* squirrel that people obviously fed a lot.
He was really "friendly" and would come right up to you.
An Italian guy later was feeding it out of his hand.
|
|
 This guy wasn't so tame :) But he was coool!!
|
|
 Woo amazing what high satuation of blue can do :)
|
|
 Hiking back.. Indian Garden is up farther another all the green.
There is a nice stream that runs down and joins up with the Colorado that feeds all the trees.
|
|
 Climbing back up.. its fun actually.. better than hiking down!
|
|
 Another view of the trail out to Plateau Point
|
|
 Ooo the shadows come quickly.. they looked very cool against the far wall of the canyon.
I totally jacked up the contrast on this picture to make it stand out more :)
