South Rim - Day Four

Elevation gain: 3100 feet
Distance: 4.5 miles
Time: 3 hours 15 minutes

Today we started hiking at 7:30. Our backpacks were the lightest yet, thankfully! It was up and steep the whole way. The views were the best on the trip and it was an incredible hike. I was overwhelmed with emotion the whole day! Near the top there were many short day hikers asking us about our hike, taking pictures of us and a man even videoed Billy and I and interviewed us about our journeay!! The trip was rewarding on so many levels.  I was able to clear my mind and appreciate the beauty and nature around us, and we were blessed with new friends who we became so close to by the end.  I never expected the emotion I felt on the last day. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done and I am so glad we did this.
