South Rim Trails 6/22-6/30

Another great hitch in the canyon.

We had mostly the same crew, but some new tasks. NPS rolled out the heavy machinery to level and compact the new trail…the steam roller, Whacker vibrating compactors, bobcats and tractors. All the work was about leveling the trail as much as possible to make the asphalting process easier and cheaper. After work we hit up Grandview Trail, Desert View Watchtower (aka Gift Shop), Tusayan Ruins, a pickup soccer game at the Rec Center, more world cup soccer (dammit USA) and a sunset from the fire tower on the west rim. Showers were plentiful and free at the Rec Center, food was good and the work was on, so it’s all good.
