As the title stated, this is the most dangerous and challenging adventure that we ever had in Grand Canyon!

Since we were in Grand Canyon, we were all agreed that we should explore Grand Canyon from head to toes!

So here comes the most excited activities in 2010 - Phantom Ranch Hiking Trip!!!

FYI, i only do ballet/yoga aka soft sports and i would never try dangerous/heavy sports!

BUT! All of them were decided to go, how can I not follow leh?

FYI, we need to have permit for the trip! we are not allowed to hike and camping down there without permission!

Yeah!!! WE ARE READY!!!!

Look down from the top...

Getting down there...

Fighting!!!!

Look how steep the trail is!

I wanted to give up but I finally convinced by their spirit n energy!

so..I went! We went!!! 6 of us together!

It's a 2 days 1 night trip!

we gotta try our best to hike all the way down before sunset n get back again in the next morning!~

We were all fully equipped!

hiking shoes, hiking sticks, sleeping map, sleeping bag, food, drinks, cereal bars, toilet paper, camping tools...etc

Between, pls ignore my stupid outlook cz it's not easy for me! trust me!

Imagine how heavy the backpack is! We have to carry them down n carry them all the way up again!

Us with round faces! lolzzz

Rest after 1 hour of hiking!!!! Come on! xiu xi shi wei le zou geng chang de lu!

see how amazing the view was!

Finally i saw something *straight*!

I fell down like 8 to 9 times! cz it's too steep already!

I srsly want to give up at the 4/5 times...but i couldnt...cz we were actually quite far from the top d...

so...no choice lo :( have to keep moving!

Some of the points for hikers to take a good rest before continue the most challenging journey!

Betwee, Sky was getting darker n darker!! arghhh!!!!

He was fine initially...n he gets a lil bit frustrated after all cz we were just a lil bit too slow compare to him!

Hello, u have long legs ma! we got only typical Asian short leg la...how to hike fast leh?

Hiking down is hard...Hiking up is triple hard!!!!

We finally managed to reach the top at 7.30pm when the whole grand canyon was freaking dark already!

The weather was really bad that day....strong winds made this trip even more dangerous!

we couldn't even stand straight!

however, in overall, we still love this trip! cz tat's the moment tat we couldnt careless about each other..

concern about each other..taking care of each other....

Anyway, thank you so much gals n bear for making this trip fun!
