Vacation Pics

This was a lot of fun. I hiked the 10 miles and 4,500 foot elevation change to the Phantom Ranch and stayed there the night before hiking back. The wife and our friends rode the mules. You have to be less then 200 pounds to ride the mules and I was over.

I much preferred the hike because being on a mule would have scared the crap out of me since I do not like heights. Believe it or not the hike out was much easier then the trip in.

The white water trip was a blast. The guide we had was really good and the other people on the raft were great.

Got a Royal Flush on the poker machine while in Vegas, so paid for part of the trip!

Had to rest for a week when we got home to recover!

That looks and sounds like a great trip! Thank you for sharing.

Was that your first trip to the Canyon? I haven't been there yet.
