Grand Canyon Trail Down

This is the beginning of the walking trail that leads to the floor of the canyon. To me it looked very narrow and there are no railings. The canyon is a mile deep and there are 7 miles of trails to take you down. It is highly recommended that you don't try to make it up and back in one day. We saw many backpackers who had camped out in the canyon below. The trail is also used by the mule train that takes riders to the bottom. Needless to say, the mules have the right of way and you are supposed to squeeze close to the mountain side to give them room to get by.
I did not have the courage to try the trail but the brave Sandy and Adrian went charging down. I was so proud of them even though I had an anxiety attack watching them climb down the trail.
