Rim to Rim and Other Hikes at Grand Canyon

The two principal runners, Mark Specker and friend, Chase, successfully completed the 26 or more mile run from the North Rim to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon yesterday. The rest of us hiked various numbers of miles down Bright Angel and back. All 4 kids including Chip and Penelope, hiked out to the Indian Garden Plateau Point for a total of about 13+ miles. Kristi did a 6 mile out and back. Gary did the 10 mile out and back to Indian Garden and hiked and jogged back up with Mark. I did a mere 4 miles but that's what my knees were telling me. Here are two photos of the Finish Line. Thanks to Kristi, our intrepid photographer and organizer par excellence.
