I will post my experience of camping in the valley bottom of the Grand Canyon from February 16th for 2 nights and 3 days. (Part 2)

February 17 (2nd day)
The dawn at the bottom of the Grand Canyon was late and it was still dark at 7 o'clock.
It is usually said that the temperature at the bottom of the Grand Canyon is about the same as in Las Vegas, but on this day the entire Grand Canyon was cold and the lowest temperature was -14 ° C above the valley, even at the bottom of the valley we spent the night-2. The temperature was so high that the water in the bottle in the tent was a little frozen.
When I arrived at the campsite last night, it was already dark and I couldn't see anything, but when I got up and got out of the tent, the scenery I saw was amazing.
After breakfast, we aimed for "Ribbon Falls".
It is about 10 kilometers one way on the No Sky Bab Trail, which leads to the Noslim in the Grand Canyon. Unlike yesterday, we will follow a relatively flat road along the Bright Angel Creek (river) through the canyon. I almost forgot that I was in a dry desert area while hiking with the sound of the river flowing as background music from beginning to end.
After walking for about two and a half hours while taking pictures, we arrived at Ribbon Falls.
The place where the water flows down is covered with moss and aquatic plants, and when the sun hits it, it glows green, and I felt that it was emitting a fantastic and mysterious power.
We had lunch slowly while enjoying the scenery of the waterfall, and set out on the way back to the campsite.
On the way, I stopped by at the phantom lunch (inn) in front of the campsite to buy some commemorative souvenirs, but it was said that facilities other than the inn were not open due to the influence of Corona. Phantom Ranch is the only inn in the Grand Canyon and the most unreserved accommodation, but at this Corona Pass, you can't even eat the famous steak dinner just by staying at the inn.
I still had some fatigue from the previous day, so the day's activities ended with a hike to Ribbon Falls and a view of the Colorado River near the campsite. (Continue)

[Last fun of Chinese New Year]
The Chinese New Year of 2021 was February and December, but due to Chinese culture, it lasts for 15 days, so the Chinese New Year mood still remains in the area. Until "Lantern Festival" on January 15th of the lunar calendar, the Chinese New Year will really end.
In Shanghai, where the corona is suppressed, except for wearing a mask, he lives almost the same life as before the corona. The other day, I went to the lantern festival held in Shanghai's classic Yu Garden. I am surprised at the large number of people. I made a video, so please have a look if you like.

I will post my experience of camping at the bottom of the Grand Canyon from February 16th for 2 nights and 3 days.

February 16 (1st day)
Start descending from the South Kaibab Trail around noon in a temperature of -1 ° C.
The members are four uncles in their thirties, forties, and fifties. One of them is Adam, our Japanese mountain guide, who is one of the licensed guides with less than 100 people in the Grand Canyon.
This time we stayed at the campsite at the bottom of the valley for 2 nights, so we carried tents, sleeping bags, water and clothes on our backs, but we were unfamiliar with luggage of around 12 kg, and Adam was fluffy for 3 days' worth of food. He was able to carry more than 30 kg of luggage such as tools.
About 10 cm of snow had accumulated on the trail over the weekend, and the condition continued to the top third. Slowly descend for about 45 minutes so as not to slip and arrive at Wool Point.
I went down the mountain for another 2 hours and arrived at Skeleton Point. At this point, the snow at my feet has disappeared, and when I look up, I can recognize that it has fallen considerably. At this point, it was a little less than half down to the campsite.
After another hour and a half, we arrived at The Tip Off. It is two-thirds down from the top. You can clearly hear the sound of the Colorado River at the bottom of the valley.
It was dark when I arrived at the Bright Angel campsite (near Phantom Ranch) in Goal after a little less than two hours of descent with my last power, and for the last 30 minutes I walked by relying on the light of a pitch-black flashlight. It was.
There is a flush toilet in the campsite, but for the past few days, I had to carry about 15 liters of river water into a bucket and flush it every time I excreted because I couldn't use the water due to the construction of the water pipe.
The long-awaited camping meal by setting up each tent in the dark!
Bonfires are banned in most national parks in the United States, so cooking can only be done in boiling water at this camp. Honestly, I didn't expect much of the instant foods sold in the US, but this camping meal was surprisingly delicious.
I toasted with beer and soaked in the sense of accomplishment of the day, and when I looked up, there was a starry sky that I had never seen before.
The walking distance on the first day is about 12 km and the height difference is about 1500 meters. I walked from the top to the bottom of the valley for about 7 hours including a break.
This is the end of the first day of the first backpacking IN Grand Canyon. (Continue)

"Chisho Memorial Hall"

Good weather in Taipei today! It is forecast to rise to 14 degrees in the morning and 20 degrees in the daytime.
In addition to the sakura native to Taiwan, the sakura from Japan has been planted in the Zhongzheng Memorial Hall for 10 years.
It seems that it was given by a Japanese private organization.
The sakura is about to fall, and we are heading for the hot summer.
This is the most comfortable time to spend.
