Today was the Bright Angel Trail Hike. I went kilted, of course. Someone said it was a brisk 18 degrees (Fahrenheit) at the rim. The first question everyone asked was "Aren't you cold in that thing?"

I wasn't.

Poor pic of me kilted for the cold hike.

Took this just about 1.5 miles into the hike. The little red circle is the 3 mile rest house, where we were turning around today.




It was a brisk 18 degrees at the top. This was quite a ways down, where the temps had climbed enough for the ice to start melting...
