Since today would be our only full day at Grand Canyon, everyone else got up around 7:15 so we could do the South Kaibab trail. Well actually my plan was to do the first 2 miles of it. A 4 mile hike may not sound like much but the starting elevation was 7200 feet with the 2 mile point being at 5720 feet. We took the shuttle bus to the visitors center and then another bus to the Kaibab trailhead (shown here).
