After spending so long in the car we leapt up next morning ready for a hike. We decided to do Bright Angel Trail which snakes round into the canyon. it is a challenging walk in the sense that it is a little precipitous in places and what goes down....!!!
Maja managed really well. We hiked for about 4 hours with plenty of stops to let mules past and to refuel. The sky was clear and afforded utterly amazing views. It snowed a little, which added to our adventure, as we were ascending. Maja enjoyed lots of praise from other hikers who kept praising her for being "such a great little hiker"
We had a relaxing hot tub back at the hotel,then tracked down some spaghetti and tomato sauce at a cafe for Maja who by now was so shattered she was on the verge of a massive meltdown!
We all crashed out very early and I woke at 5pm to see Jonathan getting ready to check out sunset at the Canyon! He followed this with an 18 mile run into the canyon!!!!
Maja and I slept late, breakfasted late and generally lazed about until Jonathan got back then we said goodbye to Grand Canyon, resolving to return one day and continued our road trip to New Mexico.
