Grand Canyon, Rim to Rim to Rim: April 2010

2:30a in the parking lot	Bob on the switch-backed descent into the canyon	Mocking the Warning sign = bad karma
Emily crossing the Colorado River	Hoot running Box Canyon	Continuing toward Cottonwood campground
Sun hits the cliffs above	Nice trail to Cottonwood CG	Mill Creek
Finding a dryer route past Mill Creek	Hoot rock hops	Bushwhack back to the trail
Alongside Bright Angel Creek	Heading toward the sun	Bridge over Bright Angel Creek
Hoot resupplying water at the Pumphouse	Starting to climb towards the North Rim	Looking back down the North Kaibab Trail
Roaring Springs	Can you spot the trail?	Troy just ahead
Narrow trail	Some exposure	Seasonal waterfalls
Bridge on the North Kaibab Trail	North Kaibab trail	Supai Tunnel
Snow on the trail near the north rim	Dry patches of trail above Supai Tunnel	Coconino Overlook
A few feet of snow at the North Rim	Half Way into the day	Supai Tunnel on the way back down
Refreshing water	Another seasonal waterfall	Upper Roaring Springs Canyon
North Kaibab Trail	Switchbacks	Cliff-hugging trail
More seasonal water	Nearing the Bright Angel Creek	Alongside Bright Angel Creek again
Red dirt path	George goes racing by	John takes on water at Cottonwood CG
Mariposa Lilly	View between Cottonwood and Phantom Ranch	Spacemen on the trail
Entering the Box Canyon	Trail in the Box Canyon	Boxed in
Getting close to Phantom Ranch	Just below Phantom Ranch	Black Bridge over the Colorado
Black Bridge and the South Kaibab trail heading up	Looking down on the Black Bridge	View down the river
Up, up, up	Not much shade	Troy and I kept each other company on the climb
Exhausted, but views still amazing	Nearing O'Neill Butte	At Cedar Ridge, showing pictures of snow to a hiker
Last push to the South Rim	Done, 14.5 hours later	I just needed to lay down for a while and not move
Parting shot of the Grand Canyon the next morning
