After looking at a map of the trails in the park my brother and I decided we wanted to see the entire rim (at least that portion that had a trail on it) by foot. So we left bright angel trail and headed to Hermits rest, the last stop on the rim trail. It's a distance of 8 miles one way but what a beautiful run. My sister in law and little brother came too and each managed to cover some respectible distance for their experience level. the nice thing about this run is that a shuttle bus covers this whole route as well so if you get tired or run out of time you can just jump on the shuttle and ride back to the start. After reaching hermits rest and waiting for the others to get there we were pretty low on time. My older brother and I ran back to Mohave point before needing to catch the bus back to the start. This was yet another amazing run at the canyon. |
