Description

I had the privilege of hiking the Grand Canyon down from the north rim and out via the south rim. This shot is from Bright Angel trail that we hiked on the way out. The trail is 9.9 miles long starting from Phantom Ranch where we spent two nights. The elevation gain to climb out is 4380 feet with an average grade of 10%. The climb out was definitely challenging and I had to "dig deep" to find the strength to make it out. This shot captures a typical switchback on the trail and reminds me of the physical and inner strength I possess.
