May 9th was rest and recover day. Too hot to do anything else but relax. Check out the BLOG!

The deer visited us in the morning too….they aren’t shy at all

These guys were everywhere and they were BOLD! If you left any food unattended for even a minute, they were at it. Good thing each campsite had the steel boxes to store anything edible.

Took a walk to the Bright Angel Bridge. We’ll be crossing it on the way back up tomorrow. I didn’t like it at all because of the open grating on the floor.

View of the Colorado river from the bridge

We were going to do the River trail from one bridge to the other along the cliff but our already shaky legs said no. Fear of heights won that battle, who needs the extra stress…today is rest day right???

Boat beach was beautiful! Really hot here, no shade to be had and the water was way tooooo cold to swim in.

But we did manage to walk in though and rinse all the red dust off our boots. Cold water felt GOOD!! I think this is my favourite picture from the hike.

Cooling off in the Bright Angel Creek. Also very cold!

Afternoon temp in the sun at 3:22 pm on May 9 was 116 F

Only a little cooler in the shade at 92 F. No wonder we weren’t motivated to do much today!
