The Grand Canyon Trek (Part 3)

The goal for the first day was to hike down the Bright Angle Trail to Indian Gardens.  The distance for this part of the hike is 4.5 miles with an elevation change from 7200 ft. to about 4000 ft. 

After reaching Indian Gardens and resting for a while we setup the campsite and pitched the tents.  The plan for late afternoon was to hike, without backpacks, to Plateau Point for a great view of the sunset and to eat dinner.  The roundtrip distance for this portion of the hike was 3 miles.

The next day, Tuesday, most of the group hiked to the Colorado River a round trip distance of 6 miles with an elevation change of about 1800 ft.
