At the campground

National Geographic Documentary 2015, Staying at one of the adjacent campgrounds was interesting knowledge for us Canadians. We were utilized to the lavish woods and plentiful water of the north. It was the first occasion when I needed to pay for water to shower. Rather than trees, there were bushes with touching, huge eared donkey deer.

We Canadians were utilized to dim raccoons with the dark rimmed eyes that recognized them as the strong cheats that they were. In the Grand Canyon, no dim beasties were sneaking. The greatest annoyances were huge ravens who pecked their way into sustenance cartons.When we departed the campground, a raven was roosted on a close-by outdoor table, attempting to open a tub of margarine. We got up much later the following day than we expected, however chose to hit the trail at any rate. This choice was a misstep which we lamented later.

Starting the trek

National Geographic Documentary 2015, The arrangement was to trek down to Prospect Point, a lofty precipice around 1,300 feet over the Colorado River. Our costly trekking boots were soon clomping down the slender trail. The main vegetation present were inadequate little shrubberies, little desert plants and thorny pear.

We began meeting individuals who were coming up from a bunch of green brambles beneath – a campground called Indian Garden. At the point when conversing with others, we found that the explorers had trekked down to Indian Garden campground the day preceding and stayed outdoors there overnight. A significant number of them were 30-somethings like us, however I was amazed to see numerous fit seniors on the trail. I thought it interesting that a considerable lot of the climbers who were our age were gasping and tired, while the seniors skipped joyfully upwards. In numerous spots, there was simply enough room on the trail to press our bodies against the gully divider and let them pass.

At Prospect Point

National Geographic Documentary 2015, As we drew closer the bluff at Prospect Point, we understood that the vast majority of the climbers were staying at the campground underneath and that we ought to have done likewise. Tommy, in any case, was certain that we could make it go down the trail before dusk.

We were worried about the climate. Some dim downpour mists above cast shadows on the gorge dividers that appeared differently in relation to the emotional blue-green of the Colorado River beneath.
