Known as Indiana Brown to none of my friends, I took this picture along a dusty, mule-worn path descending into the depths of the Grand Canyon. It was right after this that I discovered the old mining shaft leading from the Three Mile Resthouse into the cliffs beneath Bright Angel Lodge. I gently br ...

Our last day in the Grand Canyon involved starting at the river and climbing up the New Hance Trail to the rim. The first half is completely open without a lot of vegetation and the last is through what constitutes a forest in the Southwest. It was also one of the more rugged trails we [...]

The hike from Horseshoe Mesa to the river was really excellent, as if I would have expected anything else. The Kaibab Plateau is an interesting place to hike. You see the trail far ahead winding around a bend, and then in an hour (or more) you’ll actually be there after you weave your way around [.. ...

I was wrong about how far we got the first day, we actually stayed that night in Arizona. We made it to the Grand Canyon around noon or so and went to the Backcountry Office to try to get a permit. The woman there was quite helpful and we got a permit for 2 nights. [...]

Sadly, I had to do some post-processing in Photoshop to fit the pictures together as well as to apply a software-based Graduated Neutral Density filter to recover the over-exposed sky since I ...

Bozeman is cold and soggy with half-melted snow so here are more pictures from spring break. The last place we saw in the Grand Canyon was Desert View. It is the first overlook coming from the east. Stopping there was almost an afterthought as I’ve been to the Grand Canyon twice before but never con ...

Having camped at Cottonwood Creek, we packed up and started the hike back out of the canyon. . We hiked back up to Horseshoe Mesa and back to the rim by way of the Grandview Trail. Happy to have navigated the snow covered cliffsides we stopped at Desert View Point to watch the sunset. [...]

We started the next day on top of Horseshoe Mesa. During the day we made our way off the side of the mesa down to the Kaibab Plateau. The Kaibab is home to the Tonto Trail which you can follow for 70 miles east to west in the middle of the canyon. We camped that [...]

We camped a night on the rim and the next day went into the Canyon via the Grandview Trail. The top of the trail was snow-covered and steep but after a while things got better. It was an excellent trail with almost no one on it. This was quite a change compared to the [...]
