Since this was our first entire day we thought we would try the big hike. After a ridiculous power breakfast of eggs, sausage and a leftover steak we headed out to the top of the South Rim. After chugging a ton of water we loaded up our backpacks with close to a gallon each of water along with a few Gatorades and a bunch of food. Need to be prepared when hiking 13 miles roundtrip up and down a mountain.
Let's hike
Casa Grande
Getting close to the top
At the top of the mountain. 7000+ ft. There used to be 100 miles of visibility up here just 30 years ago. Due to pollution it's now half that.
After you stop staring at Robin's awesome style check out Mexico 50 miles in the background.
Not sure how I missed this guy but apparently I stepped right over him. Robin wisely stayed behind and screamed till he moved on.
Still hiking
Odd rock formation on the left
We learned that hiking up a mountain stops being fun sometime after the 10 mile point. Robin wasn't too excited to see the end of our hike still so far in the distance.
We drove through this old tunnel on the way to to the showers that were 30 minutes away.
