I took these pictures on a 6-night backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon in May 2006.

We started at the Hermit Trailhead (6640ft), hiked along the Hermit, Tonto, and Bright Angel Trails, and ended up at the Bright Angel Trailhead (6860ft). We also did three dayhikes down to the Colorado River (2400ft), and an evening hike out to Plateau Point for sunset.

Here is a map with our route indicated (full pack route in red, dayhike routes in yellow).

Here are some more photos from this hike - not necessarily beautiful but potentially interesting.

And here are some small movies: Two Flying Condors, a Sitting Condor, a Grand Canyon Pink Rattlesnake, Rafters at Hermit Rapid, Hermit Rapids, and a Panorama.

(Stay tuned for clickable maps and QT panoramas...)
