Girls Hike the Canyon: North Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch

After 7 miles of hiking down, down, down, there was 7 more miles of hiking to get to Phantom Ranch.  Although the hiking was easier physically, it was difficult mentally because there were no markers to let you know how much further you had to go.  So many times we thought we would see Phantom Ranch around the next bend and we only saw more trail.  We also saw very few people on the trail.

Weather clearing and the trail is pretty flat.

and on

Electricity to Phantom Ranch.  The insulators are still in use.
