We hit Phantom Ranch early in the morning half way through the trip. The bridge is for the Bright Angel Trail that comes from the South Rim to Phantom (which is on the north side of the river). It was nice to have running water but while many sat in the air conditioned cafe and ate and drank, I just rinsed sand out of my hair and cleaned up a bit. I talked with a bunch of hikers doing the down and up who try to do as much of the hike before the sun gets too high, then stay at Phantom for the middle of the day, then hike back up as the sun starts to get lower.
We hit some good rapids in the afternoon but it's tough to get pictures since they want everything strapped down and put away when we get close. But I know there's one just around the corner because Jeri (the guide who is rowing) has her go down rapids shirt on and the guy in the front left of the boat is getting ready to put his go-pro helmet on to get video.
Other than the rain we had early in the trip, we had beautiful sunny days all the rest of the time with blue skies that were almost fake looking they were so blue.
