| NavySeabee | Skeleton Point on S. Kaibab  Date Climbed: Oct 26, 2009 | |
| Family and I enjoyed an amazing and scenic day along Cedar Ridge to Skeleton Point and a nice view of the emerald-green Colorado River. More exploring is definitely in my future here! | |

| nicstandaert | Down and up - It's got to be a canyon Date Climbed: Oct 8, 2009 | |
| On the first day I hiked the S. Kaibab down to Tipoff and back up the same way. On day two, down to Indian Garden on the Bright Angel trail where I pitched my tent and had lunch. I continued down to the river and had a coffee at Phantom Ranch. Went up the S. Kaibab trail up to Tipoff and turned west on the Tonto trail, back to Indian Garden. Back up to the rim the next day. | |

| stamina | South Kaibab Down-Explored Inner Gorge-Bright Angel Out Date Climbed: Dec 6, 2006 | |
| Went with my best friends or The Uusual Suspects. The South K down was pretty brutal on the knees, especially the last mile to the CO River. This is like climbing a mountain in reverse, by ruining your knees on the descent, then wondering how in the hell you are going to get out of this huge hole. Stayed down at the Phantom Ranch and explored the Inner Gorge for 2 days. And yes there is beer down there. The hike from the Ranch toward the North Rim to Ribbon Falls (awesome) is a must. Hiked out via The Bright Angel Trail. Great experience and one I want to share again in my life. Beyond beautiful. | |

| Words fail me to describe how great (and beautiful) this hike was. It was like nothing I'd ever done before. I'm hoping to return in 2010 and do a rim-to-rim hike. | |

| The hardest hike I have ever done. We were so unprepared. We didn't have any of the right gear, or enough food, it was so bad. It was beautiful and I would do it again, next time I will be prepared. | |

| Day 1 - went from the North Rim via the Kaibab trail to the Bright Angel Campground next to Phantom Ranch; spent the night there. Day 2 -took the Bright Angel trail to the south rim, then took the Kaibab trail back to Bright Angel campground, spent a second night there. Day 3 - hiked back to the North Rim. Got very lucky on the weather as the tempertures never exceeded 95F. | |

| jpmossy | first trip to the north rim Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2006 | |
| a couple days after my 16th birthday (celebrated on mt charleston) we drove to the north rim of the grand canyon and stayed at the quaint jacobs lake lodge. I took a hike to Cape Final, a wonderful secluded "diving board" of an overlook. saw only a few souls on trail and none at the overlook. took a bit of class 3ish scramblng at the end. i may have ended up at a different spot, but a great view and fun scramble/hike in the end | |

| Tanner - Beamer: April 18-20, 2009 - We did a three day backpack down the Tanner Trail to the Colorado River. I saw a lot of flowers blooming on this route. We hiked along the Beamer Trail the next day. The Little Colorado River was running turquoise and brown due to recent storms. It was a hot day on the hike back up to the rim and took all day. This was a great hike with beautiful scenery. | |

| Nice day hike...Steep, and a bit rocky, but certainly cuts down on the traffic of Bright Angel! | |
