What a wild night of rain, hail and winds! But morning dawned clear but gusty. Driving out of the campground we encountered 2 male elks duking it out amidst a herd of females. It is rutting season. One chased the other away. He was handsome with huge antlers.
We visited the informative displays at the visitor center the headed out to Mather Point and a section of the Rim Trail. The rains came and Ray turned back. I kept going around the village, past the historic studio and to Bright Angel Trailhead. There people were coming up on mules.
I walked past the depot and thought what great train ride that must be!
The bike path/ greenway went through a forested area. In total my walk was 6.6 mi. When I returned to the campground, the male elk was laying on the ground with his harem!
