Grand Canyon

I finally got a permit to hike down to Havasupai. The trail begins at a place called the Hilltop and descends 11 miles into the south rim of the Grand Canyon. This particular section is not part of the Grand Canyon National Park; it is home to the Hualapi Tribe.

The first two miles are switchbacks, and then the trail flattens out and follows the creekbed.

You just follow the smooch in the gravel.

Sacred datura - one of my favorites.
