The night before this run I thought maybe we should try and run down Bright Angel to Indian Springs (a traditional winter home of the hopi before the NFS took the canyon over). When we woke up we both (my brother and I) realized that we were tired out from a week of running and, although we could managed the distance and elevation change, we wouldn't have enough time to do so. We opted instead to run a loop over the visitors center and back to the campgound so we could plot a R2R2R run in the next year. There is something very captivating about this canyon and I will have to come back, multiple times.
