Grand Canyon for Cayd Trip Report #7 I headed out of Cottonwood campground for the 7+ mile trek back to Phantom Ranch. After a couple of miles I needed to put my knee length compression shorts back on but I couldn’t really find a good place I could easily get off the trail to do so. I stopped in a section of trail where I could see anyone coming from a long way off and tried to change back into my shorts right there. It was absolutely hysterical trying to get my long shorts over my shoes and on because my legs kept cramping every time I would bend them to far, I about fell over a couple of times. I couldn’t take my shoes off the whole trip because I knew my legs would cramp so bad I would never get them back on. By then end of the trip I had so much sand and so many rocks in my shoes I started talking to them and naming them, the names were a bit much to share here but you can use your imagination. I rolled into Phantom Ranch at 2:20 in the afternoon to find Megan waiting at a picnic table. She was very happy to hear a voice call her name but a little disappointed and concerned that it was just me…
