Fuel It Right

In Kingman from the hotel.  Hiit before.  On my way to the Grand Canyon in the morning :0)

In the Grand Canyon. Hiked the 10 miles to Havasu Falls and the camp ground. I about died carrying my super heavy pack but I made it.  Seeing Havasu Falls as you make the last descent is pretty amazing. I learned a lot about the art of packing and that LIGHT is essential and also having a pack that fits you well.  I have a bruised back so I paid to have my pack carried out for me.  There's no way I could carry it out and I am fine with not! Now for relaxing in the hammock and getting ready to hike around tomorrow.

Did some day hiking to Mooney Falls and Beaver Falls.  This place is so AMAZING. I love it! Took tons of great pictures and loved being able to hike in the water for a lot of the time.  Stayed nice and cool.  The trail is pretty cool too. Red rock and walking through torso high vines is rad.  Made it to Beaver Falls and hung out in the water for awhile before we made our way back to Mooney falls.  The mist coming from it was a perfect temp after hiking all day.  Such a nice day in the Grand Canyon.

Hiked out of Havasupai. We started at 6 am so it was shady for most of the way. Hiking out of the canyon was so easy! Paid to have our pack carried out for us and I loved being able to just enjoy the surrounding and not think about how bad my neck and back felt. So fast and enjoyable.  Ran the last 1.5 up the hill at the end.  Felt good to get a little bit of an effort in.  I ran into a kid that had Rainbow flip flops on and his mom was wearing some Luna sandals.  I'm gonna look into these as trail hiking options.  Trail running shoes didn't cut it for this trip. Had so much fun but ready to go home.

Emigration at a decent effort

Out and back on easy route from home.  A little tired.  A little worried about running a marathon next week.
