Grand Canyon - Day 4- The Hike Out

We expected our last night to be pretty cold since we were at 5300 feet but it was surprisingly nice. There were storms earlier in the week but our weather was absolutely perfect.  I wore my knit hat in the evenings (because I love wearing it camping) but never had to pull out my gloves.  We set the alarm for 6am so we could be hiking by 7am.  We only had about 2000 feet to gain to climb out of the canyon and we accomplished it in about 2.5 hours.

Hot diggity.  We all made it out and are ready for a meal and a bath.
