Arizona, part 3
Day 4 Up early and on the shuttle towards Kaibab trail. By the second day I had surrendered my will over to the will of the shuttle routes, and had much more serenity as a result. Left the car at the campsite all day. Went down Kaibab trail into the canyon, maybe 3 or 4 miles and back out. Spent a good deal of time resting and staring into the canyon. The most amazing thing was, since it as a partly cloudy day, watching the canyon walls change color before my eyes as the sun ducked in and out of clouds. After the trail, I'm exhausted, and go back to the tent to take a nap. Then I begin the long shuttle route journey from my campsite to the west end of the park to watch the sunset. By shuttle, it can take hours to get from one end to the other, with several bus changes. I watch the sunset from one of the most western viewpoints in the park, and its remoteness makes it much less crowded than watching from the visitor center overlook as I did last night. Then, long shuttle ride back...
