Hiking the Grand Canyon: Thunder River to Deer Creek

Chilled to the bone, I crawled out of my tent to greet the first light of the day. Temperatures were well below freezing in the night and I slept atop six inches of snow that had just fallen. But the morning light is beautiful at the rim of the Grand Canyon. And it would surely be much warmer nearly a mile lower in elevation, where I’d be by day’s end.
