Michael's South Rim to Colorado River hike

On top of the Bright Angel Trail looking down to Indian Gardens in the canyon
Looking along the canyon wall to Hopi Point
Michael followed these Coyote tracks in the fresh snow down the trail (but never found the coyote they belonged to!)
Looking back up to the South Rim from Indian Gardens
Indian Gardens
Plateau Point (about 2500 vertical feet down into the Canyon)
the last canyon before the Inner Gorge and the Colorado River
Finally he made it down to the mighty Colorado River -after nearly 3 hours hiking the 8 miles of very steep trails (5000 feet down)
The bottom of the Canyon - what Michael saw!
