Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How’s it going today? Yesterday we went on a hike into the Grand Canyon on a well established trail called Bright Angel. It was incredible hiking into the canyon – we went 1.5 miles down and what goes down, must go up – 1.5 miles back up. The elevation change is the real doozy, 1120 feet! My Fit Bit Charge said I walked up 110 flights of stairs. It took us about 3 hours and it was a great work out – I was so proud of us all for finishing (kids did incredible). Then we got ice cream at the Grand Canyon grocery shop and made homemade grilled pizza for dinner. If you ever have the opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon I recommend scheduling in a bit of time to do the hike – it will give you a completely different perspective of the canyon! I hope to write a blog post about our experience hiking the Grand Canyon in the next couple weeks. Have you hiked into the canyon before?

We rode mules down on Bright Angel to the bottom of the Canyon. It was a wonderful experience! I just remember (and we were told) that the mules walk on the edge…thank goodness they are “surefooted”. When you are sitting up on a big mule and you look down it was both breath taking and scary. That is a long ways down! Sure a lot easier to ride a mule back up the 10 miles out of the Canyon then to walk. Looks like you are having beautiful weather. It isn’t uncommon to see snow their in April and/or May.
Heather Clarke says
We saw evidence of the mules on the trail but never saw them – I would have liked to! It was a hard workout but so amazing! And we lucked out majorly – weather was in the high 70s and early 80s! It snowed there just last week. We feel so blessed to have the time we did at the canyon!
Julie says
Is the Grand Canyon crowded? Did you run into a lot of people on the trail?
Heather Clarke says
Great question! It is crowded – it’s a popular destination. It’s still early in the season BUT because it’s FREE National Parks week I think it’s more crowded than it normally would be this time of year. I imagine in the summer it’s a lot more crowded. The campground is quiet, parking not a problem and we didn’t wait in any lines. There were a LOT of people on the trail but nothing crazy – it was a bit comforting actually to have other folks hiking along side. Hope this helps!
Julie says
Thank you! This is helpful! Enjoy your time there!
