Grand Canyon or Bust Part 3: The Shrine


I hiked up to the Shrine here in Bisbee via the City Trail and Zacatecas Canyon. Speaking of the Shrine, what an abomination and why does the so-called smartest primate feel compelled to pee all over Mother Nature like some dim-witted dog marking his territory? Even the Graffiti Gods are shaking their collective heads in disgust.

After Saturday’s strenuous hike to 9,400, I opted for something a little easier, especially considering tomorrow is the Silver Peak hike. So, only 5 miles at 3.1 mph and only 1,200 feet of elevation gain.
