Its been a while since I last wrote...
I have been busy...busy for nothing...:)
Well I wanted to talk about our small hike in Grand Canyon to Ooh- Aah Point.
But was waiting to get the original copies of the photographs(remember we forgot our camera)..:P
We must have met our frens a hundred time but just forget to get the snaps...
So I am going ahead with our Picasa download..:D
These snaps were clicked by our frens Deepak n Amruta. They just celebrated 6 month anniversary of their marriage...:)...
If you have been to Grand Canyon, you know that words fail to describe and pictures don't do justice.
And Ooh-Aah point just consolidates the fact.
Ooh-Aah Point is on the south Kaibab Trail.
South Kaibab Trail is considered one of the most beautiful trail on the South Rim of Grand Canyon. Its about 7.5 miles to Bright Angel Campground, which is at bottom of canyon. If you think that its only 7 miles just keep the fact in mind that there is around 5000 ft elevation...:P
For people like me who want to enjoy the panoramic views of Grand canyon and don't want to hike that much Ooh Aah point is there answer.
To get to Ooh-Aah point you have to take a shuttle to the South Kaibab Trailhead. There is a water fountain and lavarotary at the trailhead. Better make use of them here, you are not going to get any on trail..:). The point is only 0.9 miles from trailhead. The trail is steep but not dangerous. It would be great if you carry Hiking sticks. Your knees will be thankful.
Our descent was easy. The temperature was high but it was breezy(My hat took dive from my head a couple of time). I really looked funny runny after it. Don't try it, its dangerous ~ it being on the ledge of canyon n all.. The whole hike is near the ledge but its not dangerous. hehehe..contradictory statement..There are no rails.The trail is well maintained. Its made up of lots of switchbacks.
When you'll reach there the spectacular views in front of you gonna amaze you...
The vastness, the beauty hits you ~ awes you...silence you...Grand Canyon is something beyond definition..
So sit there, relax and enjoyii what nature has to offer you..
The climb back was much more harder. So that was a slow ascent..:P
But overall its a good hike, worth doing.
