Bright Angel… Hiney Num-Nums be Damned!

Yesterday we hiked down to the first rest house of the Bright Angel Trail. It is 1&1/2 miles down with a 1200 foot drop in elevation. The views were stunning and changed at each switchback. To say this was a stretch for this height adverse being is an understatement. The hiney num-nums, a term we use to fondly described my physical reaction to heights, only kicked in a few times. I was too busy looking down to make sure I didn’t stumble. Well, what goes down must come up. We trekked back up that 1200 feet like champs! It was another accomplishment that made me very thankful for my bionic knees.
