A Glimpe of the Colorado River, Grand Canyon, Arizona

 

From the South Rim, there are a few places where you can look down and see the Colorado River at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. You can also see part of the Bright Angel Trail. Hiking into and out of the Canyon is an adventure like going to a new world. Once you are at the bottom of the canyon, your whole perspective changes. Everything is up and nothing is down. The walls of the canyon look like distant mountains waiting to be climbed. In the canyon country, there is a saying, "Everything that goes down, must come up." You have to think about that as you hike down one of the access trails.
