After we ate lunch at the Bright Angel Lodge and perused the gift shop for swag, we took the "tram" down to the eastern end of the South Rim Village and walked along the rim trail back to the western end of the village, which also had the ice cream shop.
We started the hike about three hours after we had finished the Hermits Rest route. It was interesting to see how the canyon had visually changed. At high noon, the colors had seemed somewhat washed out but you could really see the various layers in the rock strata. As we were rounding into early evening, the colors started to become more intense, but the shadows had merged and expanded and now tended to delineate larger features, like mesas and valleys.
