Chemtrail
From The Plateau on South Kaibab
Truth and Proof
We knew we’d make Phantom Ranch that night after seeing this clear shot of The Colorado… but that didn’t prevent the “Breakdown,” which occurred just around this bend.
Edge of the World
Clear line of The Plateau… the trail becomes steep now all the way to The Colorado.
“Breakdown”
You’ll have to read the book to learn what happened.
The Canyon… The River… The Plateau
Ranchero
First view of Phantom Ranch… we thought. It’s the Mule operations. The Ranch quarters are over a mile away.
X-Out
There is no geometry below The Rim.
Cañon Del Oro
This is exactly how it looks in the moment… for a moment.
Descent Into Darkness
By the time we made it down to the tunnel the Sun had fallen. The last mile would be in the dark on the Canyon floor.
Final Shot from South Kaibab
Minutes later the Canyon went dark. There would be no more photos from Day One.
