Bright Angel is a day walk, down to the river and back.

Some do the rim to rim, using the Bright Angel and North Kaibab Trails, in a day, but that's some serious shit.

Down to the river and back is a day trip each way, for most people. Down to Plateau Point and back is a day trip.

From there, it's still quite a way down to the river:

I think they got dropped off by a raft and are just walking from bridge to bridge, back to the same raft. They don't even have water bottles, except for one with a camelback. That would be about a two mile loop, and doable without water. Or else they got a mule ride down to Phantom ranch and are just walking around down at the bottom.

Nonsense, I made it down Bright Angel all the way to the river in about 2 hrs and 20 minutes. I was carrying a 70lb pack and being this was in August, an early start before it got too hot. There are several water sources along the trail.
The Ranger said he had done the rim to rim in a very long day, but advised allowing 6 to 7 hours back up Bright Angel for normal folks.

The woman's covering is identical to those worn by northwest PA Amish women, except that she's got a lot more hair piled up and showing in front than the PA women do. They tend to pull the hair straight back, flat and tight. But the covering looks Amish. So does the hat on the man in a later picture.

German Baptists or Dunkers (or Dunkards) wear those.

They make great coffee filters, too.

Is that an Amish camera?

That's a pretty bracelet he's wearing.

That's really beautiful, Grav. I'm not even a dog person, and it still touched me.

There's an article in the NY Times about people gathering in Yosemite Park to try to capture a particular picture.

Quote:

For about one week each February, the setting sun hits the water of Horsetail Fall
at such an angle that it glows, looking like a stream of lava against the darkened rock.

The so-called firefall attracts hundreds of professional and amateur photographers
from across the globe, who flock to Yosemite Valley to capture the ephemeral scene.

Here is the pic everyone is chasing...

Mr. Rowell died in a plane crash in 2002, but his “Last Light on Horsetail Fall”
remains the most well-known photograph of the apparition.
