Hiking 1:32:58 [3] 3.21 mi (28:58 / mi)
ahr:92 max:135
6.15am: Grand Canyon, AZ with Carol. An early start before dawn, but light enough that torches not needed. Headed down Bright Angel Trail from south rim to 3 mile rest house. A little cloudy so interesting light. Amazing scenery. Even though I have done this 3x, each has its own feel, light quality and especially doing it with Carol. Magic is an appropriate word. Getting up early before many people pays off as it is quieter.

8.20am: Grand Canyon, AZ. Bright Angel Trail. Walked back up from 3 mile rest stop. The trail is so good and gradient and placing of steps that with the weather being cooler, we got into a rhythm, though stopping frequently to admire the spectacular scenery.
Strange to think we had hiked down part of the canyon and back by 10.30am, but had to vacate room by 11.00am.
Enjoyed driving along the south rim stopping to see the views along the way before heading back to Scottsdale for conference. The drive from Sodona area for 50+ miles was painful at less than 20mph!
