There’s
the Grand Canyon as seen from one of the rims. Spectacular.
Awe-inspiring. Dramatic. And there’s the Grand Canyon below the
rims, a very different place steeped in wilderness, bus-sized boulders,
tumbling streams, knee-shredding switchbacks, solitude, and the
cataract-punctuated Colorado River. The trails in Grand Canyon National
Park attract more than 80,000 permitted overnight backpackers annually,
as well as an untold number of day hikers and mule riders.
