| Arizona Day 4 - a lower key day - spent the AM in the pool with the kids, then in the afternoon we did a few short hikes in the Williams area - one near Clovis Ruin and another to Keyhole Sink - a neat little box canyon with a lot of indian petroglyphs. Overcast and cool, but no rain. |

| Arizona Day 3 - Grand Canyon - more short hikes including a fossil walk and about a half mile down bright angel trail into the canyon (less than 5% of GC visitors ever venture below the rim). Nice day, less wind.
Some sub-moron decided to ignore the signs and fences and managed to climb out on an exposed pinnacle and had a very obviously broken ankle - even at 50+m one could see it was at a very abnormal angle. When we left the rangers were roping up and discussing exactly how this guy got out there and how they were going to get him back. |

| Arizona Day 2 - Grand Canyon - Combination of multiple shorter hikes mostly along various portions of rim trail. Winds gusting in excess of 50mph made some of the exposed portions of trail a little vertiginous so we opted to hike cross country a ways back from the rim proper. |
