Grand Canyon Rim to Rim - Sept 2007

Here are our pictures from our Grand Canyon Rim to Rim backpacking trip in September. Since half the fun is getting there our 7 day camping trip on our way to Flagstaff is included. We national park hopped from Death Valley to Zion to Grand Canyon North Rim to Navajo National Monument on our way. the idea was to get accustomed to the high altitude and see some sights along the way.
