I decided to hike an additional 4 miles roundtrip to Phantom Ranch to mail some postcards.
Nick went with me to make sure I wouldn't get lost.
On our last day Nick woke us up at 5:00 AM in order to get an early start for the 4.5 mile hike to the South Rim with full backpacks. We got started about 7:30 after eating breakfast and packing everything up. We made it to the rim at about 12:30 PM after a strenuous hike.
This was a truly great adventure.
Gunter and I spent two additional days at the South Rim. We did two rim hikes and attended several ranger presentations.
On the way back to Phoenix we stopped at Sedona for a day and did a hike in the Verde Valley. We also visited the Tuzigoot National Monument.
