The below snaps were taken during my trip to Grand Canyon South Rim during the thangsgiving weekend in 2008.As part of this trip we did a short 1/2 day hike into the canyon. We did a close to 7 mile hike in the Bright Angel trail. We went a little past the 3 mile point (just before Indian Gardens), roughly around 2500ft altitude change and returned back. The weather was perfect with a great sunshine, hardly any wind and a temperature of around mid-50's. This was Anu's first hike into the canyon. We really enjoyed the hike. The had amazing views of the canyon during the hike. This is my fifth trip to GC in as many years and this place never ceases to amaze me with its wonderful sights.
With this i have hiked all the key trails in GC. Last year i did the rim to rim day hike along south kaibab & north kaibab trail, This trip i did the bright angel trial, I have done parts of the Rim trail, Hermit trail and Grand view trail during some of my earlier trips. The view from inside the canyon is very different from the view from the top. The rim-rim day hike that i did last year was my toughest hike to date.

Nice pictures in your alblum. Hey that elk photo: Two days ago I was almost attacked by an Elk in front of the El Tovar Lodge taking at flash photo of it!! Once the flash went off it grunted and then made two steps forward... and then stopped.
Me and my brother did the South Kaibab rim to river and back to rim in a day. Nice hike.
Thank you Pete!Great to know that you did a day hike up to river and back on South Kaibab! I did a rim-rim day hike last october on the south/north kaibab trails.
