[font size="3"]Djsamuel, I also have hiked down a few miles into the Grand Canyon on that same trail, and remember it being difficult because the logs, or railroad ties, or whatever those were that were put there to make steps, but due to high traffic wearing away the path, they are now more like obstacles to step over.  I've heard that other trails are better.  As GRAND as the Grand Canyon is, we enjoyed hiking in Zion better.  The two hikes I mentioned above, Angel's Landing and The Narrows, are amazing.  

That said, backpacking into the Grand Canyon is on my bucket list.  [/font]
