I stuck around for a couple of minutes after the bat program, while the bats were flying, and listened to her short discuss trekking procedures for escaping the Canyon securely and cheerfully. All things considered, that is a really enormous trip we have in front of us, day after tomorrow. 5,800 vertical feet more than 7 miles from Cottonwood Campground toward the North Rim. I trust that is the greatest single ascension I'll have ever done, topping out a 8,870 feet. Going to do me some sweatin'!
