Didn't make it that far as I hadn't planned the trip but since I was
out in Phoenix on work I thought I should pay a visit to the GC. Did
make it over half way to the bottom which wasn't bad for an unplanned
August visit. Have to admit standing to one side with the open air
next to you while the mule train walked past was a bit disturbing as
I've never been a fan of those sorts of heights.
