Recently, I had the privilege of visiting the awe-inspiring Fuego volcano in Guatemala. My timing there could not have been better as the volcano was remarkably active throughout the stay. The power of mother nature never ceases to amaze me, and watching the molten rocks as big as a bus fall from the sky was both intimidating and captivating.

PSA. Don't Tek-a-po in the lake.

Yeah, don't know why they didn't do that at the same time.

Yep. Maybe next, rename Tonto Trail.

I'd move back to NZ in a heartbeat, never seen such magic and wonder in a single country. And kiwi's are pure bro's 🙌✨

Awesome picture. Pictures can’t do it justice though. I loved this hike.

Cool

Yup. Bright Angel follows down to the right through the valley and down to the river. The area with the trees and other growth is actually called Havasupai Gardens now to reflect the native people who used to live there (and now mostly live in an area further along in the canyon): https://www.nps.gov/grca/learn/news/indian-garden-officially-renamed-to-havasupai-gardens.htm

Plateau Point is the very visible one up the middle and heads out to a great view of the lower canyon and river.

If you look closely you can see Tonto Trail to the right of the gardens kinda curving around the rise.

I was fortunate enough to be able to hike around there a few years ago. Went down South Kaibab to the tipoff, across Tonto Trail to Havasupai Gardens, out to and back from Plateau Point, then up Bright Angel.

They're working on it: https://www.nps.gov/grca/learn/news/indian-garden-officially-renamed-to-havasupai-gardens.htm

> Efforts are already underway to update signage, website and other materials with the new name.

Then they need to update they’re maps bc it’s still called Indian gardens on the nps website.

I’m happy to hear this though thanks for the heads up

When I was a kid, I read Verne's Mysterious Island, and I liked to imagine the place they build their Granite House refuge upon just like this.

Can’t second this enough. Was not expecting how incredible it was in person.

I'm headed there in 2 weeks and I'm so excited!

A little over two years ago I ran rim to rim to rim. We started and ended on the south rim, and it was dark when we started, and dark when we got back. So despite having been there before, I never got to enjoy this view.

I want everyone looking at this photo to realize that it does not do its subject justice. NO PHOTO DOES. You may have seen pictures and photos of the Grand Canyon before but no picture can compare to or prepare you for the AWESOME MAJESTY of this place. You owe it to yourself to experience it.

At the end of last year, the NPS (at the request of the Havasupai people) renamed it to Havasupai Gardens.

Yeah, it's a neat spot. https://imgur.com/a/VQfCkF3 overlooking the river, and then big walls all around. We had a storm starting to build over the rim while we were down there, and it was a really sweet place to watch it.

Spent a night solo in that Yukla yurt around the winter solstice a decade ago. Snowshoed back out to the trailhead next day at noon and car thermometer read -20F. I have no idea how cold it was overnight. In the Midwest now, but would always prefer dead still sub-zero AK air to the sub-zero wind chills we get down here.

I'd guess they're thinking of crowds but it's not that hard to manage as long as you don't go to the exact same places that everyone else goes or go on the off season

I knew it was massive when I went there the first time. But I had no idea how to “process” how huge it really is, and how beautiful it is.

Bright Angel goes all the way down to the river. Kicking myself for not hiking it when I was living out there for work.

Had planned on doing it this early spring, but ended up not getting that project so it’s on hold.
