ESCAPE

摘要

Getting there Fly into Flagstaff, Arizona. Check into the Zane Grey or Jane Russell Room at the historic, ornate Hotel Monte Vista. Commence carbo-loading at Flagstaff Brewing Company. Wake up at 5 a.m. and drive 90 monotonous miles to the canyon's south rim, watching for elk and coyotes along the way. Navigate to the top of the South Kaibab Trail, at Yaki Point. Peer over the edge to the bottom, 4,700 feet below. Try not to panic. Begin 7-mile descent, stopping for water breaks and mind-altering views. Hike three to seven hours, depending on your fitness level and tolerance for pain-the downhill march will punish even a seasoned hiker's knees and ankles.
