"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

I will be backThis is my favorite of the three trails that go into the canyon. I hiked this trail 5 times: three times down and two up. I am still to learn to enjoy the distance from Supai Tunnel to the Rim.

Up-n-downMade a deal with my wife to only go down to 95 degrees...Got an early start (64 degrees) and made a large chunk of descent before the themometer hit the magic turn around point.

What an intro to Arizona!Moved to Arizona and went to the North Rim a day later to hike to Phantom Ranch via the North Kaibab trail. The 120 degrees at the bottom of the canyon was quite the introduction to Arizona.

R2R2RAwesome one-day run from the South Rim to the North Rim (via Bright Angel and N Kaibob) and back (via N and S Kaibob). Next time I'll descend the S Kaibob and ascend the Bright Angel as the S Kaibob is a grueling steep nasty climb after a full day out. In total (not counting the 3 mile walk back to Mather Campground (no shuttle service after 7:30pm)) was 46 miles, 11,400' of gain, 17 hours. The North Kaibob Trail was by far my favorite stretch... very beautiful.
