The Grand Canyon at Sunrise

Our friends from the valley invited us to join them in hiking the grand canyon from North to South Rim (24.1 miles). It was quite the adventure.
Sunny and I standing at the South rim waiting for the 5 hour shuttle to the North Rim. Sunny wanted to ensure that no UV rays entered her eyes and so she bought the largest pair of sunglasses she could find. You can never be too safe!

Looking over the edge at the daunting task ahead of us!

Getting ready to start our journey from the North Kaibab Trailhead at 5:45AM. Sunny and I exchanging a final kiss in case one of us fell off the canyon.

Check out the layers of rock in the cliff walls

A Grand View!

The cliffs of despair....

Crossing the Colorado river which means "Color Red"

Sunny navigates a stream to keep the hiking boots from getting wet.

Entering Indians Gardens campground.

We finally made it to the South Rim after hours of treacherous switchbacks.

Lot of foreigners at the canyon were there as tourists. This sleepy lady didn't quite get the nike logo right.
