Finally, wireless in our room(now in Sedona), so I will try to catch up the blog tonight.

Grand Canyon-The 19 hikers going down to Phantom Ranch left early this morning. Some of them went down the Bright Angel Trail, and a few went down the South Kaibab. They all made it down in time for dinner at the ranch.

Judy, Mary Jane, Dawn, Al, and I took the shuttle to the Bright Angel Trailhead. Judy, Mary Jane, and Al hike down it to the first arch, took pictures and came back up. We then took the shuttle to Hermit's Rest. Judy and Mary Jane found the trailhead and stepped onto to take some pictures. The rest of us waited near the gift shop.

After taking the shuttles back to Market Place Plaza, Judy, Dawn and I rode with Al to the IMAX theater in Tusayan, just south of the park. We went to the movie, which was done by National Geographic and very good. After returning, we spent some time in our rooms, and then met for dinner at the Canyon Cafe at the Yavapai.
