Winter Hike

Two friends from the South Rim and I day-hiked down the Bright Angel Trail to Three-Mile Resthouse and back to the rim a few days ago. Beautiful day, packed snow covering almost all of the trail (we used crampons), very few other hikers. Absolutely magnificent and fun, too.

 

Also, I recently learned a new word: Abdicate. It means giving up on the idea that you'll ever again possess a flat stomach.
