We had perfect weather and a perfectly hot 128 F temp at the bottom of the canyon. Linda & Jake rode the mules, and Bruce went on his own two feet. We stayed in a rustic cabin at Phantom Ranch down there, with an air conditioner that dropped the temp in the cabin all the way down to about 99 degrees, which never felt so good. What a spectacular place on earth. We drove back for another look even after moving into a room at Sedona.
