Grandview Point

We stopped at quite a few of the viewpoints along the south rim but at Grandview we opted to go a little further & follow the trail down below the rim a short way.

Of course you could backpack down this trail & connect with the Tonto trail, but that is for another trip. It was hard to turn around though... the trail just kept egging me onward.

One of many interactions with the local population of touron here. In this one I stopped a man from throwing a fist sized rock off the trails edge (he was trying to get his friends to collect one too, to throw for 'Good luck' when I intervened) "There's a trail down there, you're going to kill someone!" He thanked me & apologized, clearly he hadn't been thinking... Thankfully most of my other encounters were more positive.
