When I was 20s, I visited there in summer. After
camping the top of cliff, I went down to the bottom of valley along the trail
which took more 10km. Finally I could have reached the Colorado River. It was a hot
day so that I jumped into the water soon after that. It was a wonderful moment.
I camped along the river taking a rest in my sleeping bag. Then an American big
guy came to me and said "Do you have a flashlight?"
I asked
"Yes, but why?" He told "Walking in night is not hot and we can
save an energy. Let's climb up together with your flashlight!" I hesitated
for a moment but followed his advice. Then both of us started in the midnight.
I was carrying 25kg bag though a big guy had just a water bottle. Time
passed by and by and dawn brakes. Then he told "Thank for your flashlight.
Are you all right?" I said "No I can't move." And he told
"Never mind! I will call a ranger when I arrive at station." Then he
left leaving me. 2 hours later a ranger came with donkey and helped me. I got
dehydrated.
