The view from the lodge.







This was the Kaibab trail that we hiked.






I swear this thing looks almost like a Twin Gods statue.










We went all the way to that bridge before we turned around and came back. We went down to the bottom of the Sumpai Group, about 4 miles down the Canyon.


I really liked these trees, they were green and purple.















SQUIRREL!!


"Eh wot?"





Is it just me or is that birch tree smiling at me? Dammit, Pent! What did you do to me?!

Here's as far as we went down:



The group I was with stopped at the bottom of the Supai Group, or the top of the Redwall Limestone. Everyone else went down to the Bright Angel Shale.

Mhmm, they do. I remember

Mhmm, they do. I remember reading that part of it (I think the Supai Group) was a delta environment so you find small lizard tracks. I know higher up are shell fossils from a shallow marine environment.

One down side though is that it's illegal to take any rocks or fossils from the Grand Canyon, which really sucks because we found some oolitic limestone that would have been awesome to keep. Ah well...
