Inside The Grand Canyon

View from Bright Angel Trail after descending below South Rim (6,860 feet - 2,091 metres)

Mules have right of way

I wasn't going to  argue

Two ravens can just be seen on the rock face in the centre of the photo

Despite the sign, reaching the resthouse is a walk of 3.1 miles (5.0 kilometres) over a descent of 2,112 feet (644 metres) - and the toilets were closed for cleaning

What comes down, must go back up - view from the resthouse

Another view up

Much of the gradient is gentle, but tiring in the sun

Shade boosts morale, unlike heading for a sheer rockface

Back on top in time to see the restored 1923 Grand Canyon Pullman
