Watching the sun set and trying not to throw up thinking about what we were about to do the next day! |
Here we go! |
We got to watch the sun come up, it was beautiful. The trail is made up of steps like this the ENTIRE way! |
Accurate |
One of Toby's many pit stops |
Made it to the bottom and crossed the Colorado River! |
Phantom Ranch at the bottom has yummy lemonade for you and you can also send postcards through their mule mail. It was a lovely stop |
7 miles down 14 to go |
Toby and I went ahead of the group because I knew I'd have to go slower on the way up because of my heart and I didn't want them to have to wait for me, so we only saw each other a few times on the trail. |
Our 2nd stop was at this river. It was heaven. We got in fully clothed, ate our sandwiches and felt like new people. It was pretty hot by this time |
Another pit stop |
So close! The trees and view totally change at the end. It was crazy |
So. Many. Steps! |
We did it! |
We did it! The rest of the group finished about 40 minutes after us. I had already started into my usual post workout shivers hence all the layers of clothes. |
