I'm still on Bright Angel Trail, nearing the base of Coconino, shortly after leaving the high house. The grade is a shallow 12% along the switchbacks, but will soon change because the last 250 meters of altitude will come in the next 2km, with grades as high as 16%.

Above me is the ledge immediately below the Grand Canyon Lodge, and a refreshing shower and hardy meal.

This is another element in my digital conversion project. Scan from a photograph taken July 8, 1980, with my trusty old semi-retired Canon FTB.
