Grandview Trail to Horseshoe Mesa [March 27, 2014]

Advertisement: My favorite day hike in the Grand Canyon. The trail takes you through varied terrain with views all along the way. You can try to climb to the top of Horseshoe Mesa -- we didn't make it all the way, but it's fun to try anyway.

A somewhat tricky bouldering move was required to get past the final boulder on this pitch
