Arriving at Grand Canyon National Park South Rim in the morning and standing in line to get a hotel for the night, I met an Australian girl who agreed to share a room. We hiked down the Kaibab trail togeether to the bottom of the canyon (3 hours), stayed overnight at Phantom Ranch and walked up the Bright Angel trail the following day (7 hours). It was spectacular.
