Surviving a Hike into the Grand Canyon

National Geographic, Climbing in the Grand Canyon is not for the feeble of body or swoon of heart. My significant other Tommy (not his genuine name) and I didn't understand this when we chose to trek into the Grand Canyon one October day.

Numerous years back, Tommy was laid off his employment for a month, so we chose to take a fantasy trip from our rich, green home in Ontario, Canada down into the southern United States. We needed to take in sights, for example, Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico and the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

National Geographic, Tommy and I were outside lovers who frequently invested weekends trekking and outdoors all over North America. We felt prepared for anything. We weren't. We committed various errors that could have gotten us into a great deal of inconvenience. The Grand Canyon is generally a desolate no man's land that can be risky for the oblivious.

Early introductions

When we first drove along the twisting street along the edge of the Grand Canyon, I was awestruck. Rather than the dull, exposed rock i expected, the glorious dividers were ribboned with pale pastel soul, yellows and pinks against the sandy stone. At the point when Tommy let me know of his fantasy to trek into the gorge on the Bright Angel Trail, I was hesitant. The desert was so distinctive, it resembled being on an alternate planet.

National Geographic, When I looked over the railing at the Bright Angel Trail, it was slender strip dangling off a lofty ravine divider with a sheer drop of more than 1,000 feet. In numerous spots, the trail was just sufficiently wide for two individuals. I swallowed, however concurred that we would do the trek the following day.
