The Heat is On

We left Bright Angel camp at 0600, got to Indian Gardens (our destination for today) at 1030 in time to beat the afternoon heat.

No problems, but now we're discovering "uphill muscles". Packs are supposed to be getting lighter but I can't tell. Maybe Tom has been secretly loading me up!

Hot this afternoon, glad we're off the trail.


Added Later:

This evening we hiked out to Plateau Point to watch the sunset and get even more astounding views of the Canyon....you can't see this from the South Rim.


Later we saw the International Space Station pass directly overhead. And of course you can see a hundred times more stars at nite with no city lights to interfere.
