Hiking Bright Angel Trail

Here we go!

Just a little way down the trail you go through
the first archway.

We would have missed these petroglyphs because 

you are always looking down watching your step. 

 Another couple had stopped and pointed them out to us.

Second archway.

Move over for the donkeys!
They are bigger than I thought.

Yes, they have rest houses in the canyon.

 We found a great spot to have our lunch after
over 1 1/2 miles down into the canyon.

Before we could finish a ranger came over and told us that

we needed to move so a medical helicopter could land. 

A man had a heart attack and was air lifted out. 

Now the hard part - two hours of climbing up!

Look at the top of this photo and you can see the Kolb House.

 Slowly we climbed on the shuttle and went to see

 Hermit's Rest which is an 80 minutes round trip on the shuttle.

Then we took our car and found where we 

stayed when we honeymooned here 35 years ago.

 Surprising it looked the same.

The Hopi House is a now a gift shop

and the famous El Tovar Hotel.
