Walking the Grand Canyon

While in the Grand Canyon we walked up and down hills. This was the most challenging exercise I did. As You can see the Canyon is huge and with an greater elevation (8000 feet/2438 m above sea level), it makes the walking there more of a work out. My heart rate reached it's burn rate faster, and stayed there the longest.



This kind of walking I like, the scenery changes often and if you keep your eyes opened and looking up, the things to see was a once in a life time sight. As to the California Condor in this Photo. You can enlarge it to really see him.
These birds are rare to see in the Wild, only about 172 in the wild, all live in the Grand canyon region.
In all to plan a vacation with some challenging walking was a great choice.

Our guide was great. Some of us walked and he had things for the ones who stayed behind. See the Castle in the background, My daughter and I walked up to the top of it, so many steps.
The exercise was well worth it.
