Grand Canyon or Bust Part 2: Miller Peak


First Grand Canyon training hike (Miller Peak) was good practice for the Bright Angel GC trail, about the same distance, 9.6 miles vs. 10 for the GC. Miller has greater elevation gain: 650 ft/mile; the GC is roughly 500 ft/mile. Lungs held up at 9,400 feet.
