[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 2174965, member: 1"] After a nearly 2,000 mile road trip Kathy and I arrived in the Phoenix area where I dropped her off for a visit with wintering Wisconsin friends. I headed immediately up to the Grand Canyon. I went to the Backcountry office where the COVID related application process details were posted at the door. I didn't know how long it would take to get a permit so while waiting, I planned on a day hike the next morning. I had been wanting to try the Tonto Trail on this trip. So I planned a 14 mile day hike - down South Kaibab to Tonto and then turn west along the Tonto Trail to the Bright Angel Trail junction and then back up to the top. Meanwhile, only one hour after my emailed applicatioin was sent - I got a reply saying I was successful and now had an overnight permit at the Indian Garden Campground [B]"Raider's of the Lost Ark!"[/B] - - - my wife said when she saw this spooky lighted pre-dawn image shot in my first minutes heading down from the South Kaibab Trailhead.
