Donald, Audrah and Jed took off around 9:30am for a 17 mile hike down the South Kaibab trail, across the canyon and back up the Bright Angel Trail.
They went down with some new friends: Robers and Gillian.
Kyrah and Suzie went about a mile with them before they continued on into the canyon. We waited til they were a ways off so we could catch some photos of them.
While we waited, a mule train ascended from the canyon.
If you can zoom in, look for an orange backpack…that would be Jed.
Another mule train.
They left at 9:30am and returned 16 hours later at 1:30am!!
Jed took a small bottle down and brought up some water and sand from the river.
This is the trail that they came back up on in the dark.
