Day 3 it was time to head back up -- We started out around 6 AM from the Bright Angel Campground, next to the river, and hiked to Indian Gardens...about 4.5 miles, and an altitude increase of 1300 ft.
The only rough part was a nasty set of switchbacks called the Devil's Corkscrew.
You can see part of it here zigzagging up from the bottom center of the photo.
Fortunately, shortly after that we arrived at a shady spot by a creek where we could rest and chat with other hikers for awhile, comparing notes on where we were hiking from (and to), hometowns, and experiences on the trail.
Along here we also started to see the warning signs to downhill hikers.
We arrived at the campground about 10:30, and spent the afternoon "chillin"!
