Rainbow Rim (May 2007)

After the long day on the Old Bright Angel trail, I drove out to Fire Point to spend the night. The next morning I rode my bike along the Rainbow Rim Trail, doing a 9 mile loop of Timp and North Timp points.




I slept in the bed of the truck on a quilt, and this was my view of the sun setting over the western Grand Canyon! I was all alone out on this point too!













From Fire Point, you can look off to the south and see Muav Saddle, the Bass Trail, and Powell Plateau.















A view from my mountain bike. Notice the little white vertical line and green speck in the middle--that's Thunder River!
