Waking up at 6:30am in a Camping Park 1 mile away from the entrance of Grand Canyon National Park.
After getting there, we decided which trail to do... After looking at this graph, we decided to do the second to last one...Difficult, but doable we thought...
The beginning of the trail
Some of the alerts on the way
The view from the beginning of the trail
The trees on the valley are the Indian Garden, our third stop after 4.5miles going down, a paradise... The final stop was on the mount to the right, after an extra 1.5 miles
The upper tunnel, when we start going down
The way down (the way up was the same)
Tiago playing with the mountains
All we have gone down
Arriving at the Indian Garden
In the Indian Garden... When we got here we decided that instead of going to the point previously defined, only 1.5 miles away, we would attempt going to the Colorado River only 5k away (meaning 10k roundtrip). As always, the way in is always downhill, the way out is always uphill...
On the way to the river
On the way to the river
Can you find Wally/Waldo/Tiago?
Little creek we had to cross
Oh no, we have to go all this way down, meaning that after we will have to go all the way up...
Arriving at the Colorado River, after it, time to go up (only up, always up)
The Colorado River
Starting going up
Still going up...
This is all we shouldn't have done, at least we survived, not easily, but we did...
Stop at Indian Garden to refresh
The way back to uphill, while still in Indian Garden
We did it :)

PS - The pictures do not represent how big and impressive the Grand Canyon is... It is really amazing...
