I'm so proud of this photo. The South Rim is 4.5 ahead and, more importantly, over 3,000 feet _up_. I was 26 days post-op from breast cancer surgery and I carried all of my own stuff on this hike.
A mule train carrying supplies passed through Indian Garden while we stopped for a snack and water.
The mule train caught up with us again on the way up at the 1.5-mile rest house.
