[QUOTE="BAKPAKR, post: 1910393, member: 114021"] Sorry to dig up an old post but you guys are inspiring me. My wife and I went to the Grand Canyon around 2007. I wanted to do a rim to rim but there was no way I was going to let her drive by herself from the North Rim to the South Rim, and I didn’t have the foresight to arrange for a shuttle service. I ended up doing the South Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch where I had “the coldest beer in the canyon,” (a Tecate) and I went back up the Bright Angel Trail. I couldn’t believe the number of people at Indian Garden and what some of them were wearing for clothing and footwear. I actually saw one lady in heels. It was obvious that they had not considered that it was going to be much more difficult on the way out (about 4.5 miles and 2900 feet elevation gain). After that trip, I thought that I needed to go back and do the rim to rim hike while my skinny legs could still carry me. However, as years have passed, that thought faded. Your photos have rekindled my desire, and the rim to rim trip has definitely moved up on my bucket list. [/QUOTE]
