Well, we finally did it and lived to tell the tail. This past Friday, starting out at 6 am we hiked down the Bright Angel trail into the Grand Canyon. We made it to the official midway point of Indian Gardens which is half way between the trail head and Phantom Ranch some time between 10 and 10:30. We didn't go down to the river but we're directly above it at Plateau Point another mile and a half from Indian Gardens.
About 10-15 minutes into our hike. The sun is still rising.
Still dark
We weren't in a spot to see the sun crest but could see its effects on everything else
