Yeap it has been ages! AGES since coming back from the US. What to do, gotto tune back to the super hectic, cannot rest, must work till death lifestyle.
Seriously, we need a cultural change!
Anyway, back to serious business, PICTURE OVERLOAD! YAY!!! I'll try to provide picture comments ok?
The bright and sunny day, snap a few shots of De Beau hostel.
Won't tell you where is my room, we booked a 2 bed dorm.
Kitchen
Recreational area.
Mount Humphrey, dupped the tallest mountain in America.We left Flagstaff about 9 in the morning, travelled with 4 others, 5 including our tour guide.
Mount Humphrey again!
On the way to GC, there were still ice patches all around.

On the way to GC, there were still ice patches all around. The journey took 1 1/2 hours! Yeap that's a long distance, but in the US, its OK.
Thanks to Michael, we found a small trail that lead us to a very secluded spot
I was shivering then, LITERAL!
Wahhhh
Sunset
Grrrr...RRRrrrrr...CoooLLLLdddddd
A moment to snap my last shot before sleeping all the way back to Flagstaff, we passed through the Navajo reserves, that is where all the red indians live.
We made our first stop, was told to buy lunch and supply for a long long day.
It has been 1/2 hour since we enter the Grand Canyon reserves, yet we were made to wait for the view of our life.
It has been 1/2 hour since we enter the Grand Canyon reserves, yet we were made to wait for the view of our life.Michael made us walk blindfolded (ya kena tease and all) but he say it is worth it. So we walk behind each other, waited for Michael to place us in the right spot, and in unison, opened our eyes for.....
Yeap this.................
Its amazing, as you can see, there are the vertical cliffs and the slopes with gradient, there are both different rock types. The vertical ones are limestone, where as those slopes are soft red rocks.
I took a 15 minute hike, the trail was filled with mule's poop and urine, frozen urine, making it dangerous.
Yellow rocks.
A picture with Michael.

A picture with Michael.After that, we were gathered and promptly boarded the van for our next destination, lets call it, 'LUNCH SPOT'.
We spotted a MOOSE on the way, it was HUGE!
Everyone enjoying their LUNCH?
Here's our tour guide, Michael, enjoying himself.
Its great, Michael persuaded me to join him at the edge, it took some getting used to (cold and wind blah blah) but it felt great after awhile. Seriously, if you are going to the Grand Canyon, don't go if you are scared of heights.

Seriously, if you are going to the Grand Canyon, don't go if you are scared of heights.After lunch, we were taken to another spot, this is where we will start our journey, a long 6.5km hike down the Grand Canyon!
That's Michael, Carley and Courtney.
Stoped at a ridge to snap some pic, this man was so nice to have his picture with a completely unknown chinese stranger, well the folks down there are really friendly, seriously!
A glimpse of the 'safer' parts of the trail we embarked on.
Somehow you just have to make a few stops, because the view is just Speeectakular!
Will never forget this place, it is called 'Oo Ahh Ridge'. The name is so freaking unique, visitors steal the signs every time a new one gets erected. A small slip anywhere will cause you your life!
Thread carefully! these are the soft red sand, no wonder areas around it gets the name 'Red Rock'.
Finally! CEDAR RIDGE! After hiking for 6.5++++km and descending for about 1000ft!
Not forgetting to snap pictures of myself, Anne reminded me hehe.
Well after a long hike to Cedar Ridge, can't help but sit near the cliff to enjoy the spectacle
Bet this marking wont last 2 days
Believe it or not, that is the trail to hike up! And that peak? that is not the destination, the destination is somewhere to the right ---> nope you can't see it.
The small group with us, from left, Mun Yau, (skip), Courtney, Carley, Michael
It took us roughly 1 1/2 hour to hike up from Cedar Ridge, serious shit! Well it wasn't easy, got terrible frost bite on my hand from the ever changing temperature and wind. I think we took about 5 stops. The climb took a toll on Mun Yau, we froze waiting 40 minutes for him. Anyway, he should be proud of himself, a guy with no extra curricular activies for the past who knows how many years! He made it....
The last place Michael (our tour guide) took us, it is called the 'Watch Tower'. Self explained.

Observe closely, and you will see the Calorado river. This particular river is 100m in width.

A moment to snap my last shot before sleeping all the way back to Flagstaff, we passed through the Navajo reserves, that is where all the red indians live.Just a short note, if you read through the comments, you might notice, there are 2 Michaels? Yeap there are 2, one is our tour guide, and another Polish native, residing in US. There were many things I went through that trip, but it is not easy to pen it down, ask me if you have questions hehe.
