This picture hardly looks like the bottom of Grand Canyon. It isn't. We hiked about 2 miles up the Clear Creek Trail and were given some great views of the very muddy Colorado River, the South Kaibab Trail and the canyon in general. Usually, the river isn't as dirty looking as it was at the end of March, but there's been a lot of runoff and the river can often be a dirty mix - that's why the Spanish called it "coloured". We also hiked 2 - 3 miles up the North Kaibab Trail along Bright Angel Creek - a flat walk in a narrow canyon for the first mile or two - simply gorgeous hiking and ever so easy.
