[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3534834, member: 7900"] It was a bit tricky going out to Bright Angel Point there in the Lodge area to take pictures. There was one section of about 20 feet or so that was pretty slickery. (And yes, there was a dropoff into the canyon not too far away.) I made it out, even with my tricky knee, but the wife chose not to even try. I think Eric (our youngest son) made it out as well, but I could be wrong about that. The one disappointment that I had on that whole vacation was that we didn't have time to drive down to and hike out to [URL='https://www.google.com/search?q=the+citadel+ruins&rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS748US748&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiLo_z0lJjvAhVZAp0JHZtwDZwQ_AUoAXoECA4QAw&biw=1628&bih=927']The Citadel[/URL] or [URL='https://www.google.com/search?q=fallen+roof+ruin&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjDzcrflJjvAhUzB50JHYOAAbYQ_AUoA3oECAoQBQ&biw=1628&bih=927']Fallen Roof Ruins[/URL].

The Citadel Ruins are out on that promontory out into the canyon, and what is cool about it is that it wouldn't have taken much to defend their "homes" with that narrow access point to get there.
