Arizona Trail
Snow on the AZT
There was thunder and lightning followed by rain. Then I heard a “prickling” on my tent. It didn’t take long to figure out there was snow on the AZT.

Getting Colder and Windy
No rain last night and my tent is actually dry. The sun was shining; although it was getting colder and windy. (wind gusts as high as 49 MPH where reported.)

Hiking in the Flats of Arizona
The day was clear and sunny. The trail was across an open plane, so today I would be hiking in the flats of Arizona.

Lost and Found on the AZT
I saw a pair of mittens in the trail. I picked them up. Later a guy with no backpack approaches looking for gloves. My lost and found has a satisfied customer.

A Gloomy Day on the Trail
I had a great night’s sleep last night. Definitely the best campsite is on a thick bed of pine needles. It was a gloomy day – kind of overcast and cool.

Leaving the Grand Canyon
There was a lot to do before leaving the Grand Canyon South Rim. My tent had a lot of mud on it. I tried to clean most of it off.

Grand Canyon Zero Days
Tomorrow I leave the south rim Grand Canyon village. It’s a nice place, but I didn’t have a chance to enjoy it the way I wanted.

On to the Grand Canyon South Rim
I left Bright Angel Campground at 6 AM for the Grand Canyon South Rim. The first part of the trail was relatively flat to slightly rising. I kept in the shade.

Bright Angel Campground
I left the Grand Canyon north rim campground and headed for the rim and the way down into the Canyon – almost 6,000 feet. Next stop, Bright Angel Campground.

Finally – The Grand Canyon
I made good time. There was nothing remarkable about the trail, and I focused on reaching the north rim of the Grand Canyon. The village came into view at noon.
