Day # 2 Grand Canyon, Hiking the Rim Trail

Today we spent the day hiking the Rim Trail. We took the shuttle to the end at Hermit's Rest and walked our way back. Most of the time the Canyon was in view. It was great to see it from so many angles! We also took a short hike down Bright Angel Trail but just to the tunnel and back. That is the trail that goes all the way to the bottom. You can walk down in about 5 hours and need to allow 8 to climb back up. It is recommended that it be done in two days- so we did the Rim Trail instead! Another time......maybe.

 Check out the condor!
