I'd never gone before. I had a conference in Phoenix so Ken and I spent 2 days hiking, wandering, and taking in the view. Without kids (hooray!). It was amazing, absolutely amazing.
We hiked one day about 1/2 way down the canyon. There are warning signs everywhere reminding people not to try to hike all the way in and back in one day (I can see why - we were exhausted and hot after just 1/2 way in).
But the views were incredible.
We got up early the last morning we were there for a 3 mile hike into the canyon to watch the sunrise.
For part of the trail, you hike on this ridge way up in the canyon, with the canyon walls falling down on either side of you. I may have been a little nervous (the wind didn't help).
Absolutely incredible.
We were tired and achy and the huge blisters (I only had Keens) on my feet made it hard to wear dress shoes for my conference the next day. But I want to go back and hike the whole thing. Anyone with me?
