We pulled a group of about 12 for the first 30 miles or so, averaging about 25 miles an hour. It was fun, but it cooked our legs for the next few miles. We told the group to go on and we slowed down to about 18. Much more sustainable.

Those are only the best pictures on the site. I think we had about 400 also. It's just such an amazing place. If you ever get a chance to go for a few days, it's well worth it. The canyons were still fairly cool and quite hikable, even though the center of the valley was so HOT!
