    The Fountain is a popular place on the back side of Bright Angel Lodge for hikers and tourists to get an ice cream cone. It's location along the South Rim makes it a busy stop. This is an early morning shot before the tour buses arrive en mass.

    Bright Angel Trail

    The Bright Angel Trail is one of the most popular and well-traveled trails in the Grand Canyon. Here, we pulled over to take in the vista from a bend in the trail.

    This photo of me on Bright Angel Trail is remarkable for one reason: I am 23 days post-op from breast cancer surgery and I am carrying a pack filled with my own stuff.

    Hiking Bright Angel Trail is beautiful. As with many other trails here, you always have a view of the canyon on one side of you.

    The view from this angle was amazing. The canyon seemed perfectly framed between two rock walls.

    This sign seemed like an odd placement as you are already on the trail for over a half mile and there is nowhere else to go but over the side.

    Mule Ride

    The mules ride in formation - a single file line - without much direction. You are instructed to keep them nose to bum and are given a whip (or "motivator" as the wrangler calls them) to keep them on pace.

    Simon, our trail guide, would stop us and have us turn our mules toward whatever he was explaining (geology, history, landscape, etc.)
