Itinerary description
A long descent trail to the Colorado river for the south rim of the Grand Canyon. The going down isn't hard and there is nothing technical with the trail.
It is a tremendous experience: the views are amazing. I divide the walk to 3 sections: the first one with wide views a bit simmilar to the overlooks on the rim, the second where all the forms and colours inside the canyon became real and alive and with volume and the third section from the tip-off and on where you start to feel and see the river.
It took me about 4.5 hours of easy going with a backpack.
