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.

Back in the Saddle

Back in the saddle, so to speak. First hike in the season. Tomorrow, climbing to 9,000+, and I’m sure my 900 foot lungs will love it.

Airing out the Eurovan for a trip to Arizona to hike the Grand Canyon.

The requisite poptop camper bumper stickers, should get me pulled over after leaving Colorado.
