Hiking Grand Canyon has ups and downs

So, you want to hike the Grand Canyon? No problem. Just take plenty of water and plenty of time.
My first hike to the bottom of the canyon was a mistake. I carried all my food and camping gear and discovered, while soaking my weary feet in Bright Angel Creek, that a mule would have carted the load for a small fee. Hire a beast of burden and carry only your lunch and water.
The most popular route down from the South Rim is the South Kaibab Trail, which is 11 km to the campground and Phantom Ranch on the Colorado River. The trail offers some of the most stunning vistas of the canyon. >> Full Story >>
