Today was a rest day. Jen told me (in no uncertain terms) that I "had" to get to the canyon. Creel, although a popular destination is not actually in the Copper Canyon. I booked a tour through eco-alterNATIVE Tours - I booked the 7 hour tour and it was both a hike and a look at the life of the Tarahumara. I, mistakenly thought it was a 7 hour hike - no the tour was a total of 7 hours (actually it went a little faster since it was just me). Thank goodness it wasn't a 7 hour hike - it was a relaxing 2 1/2 hour hike on the rim of the Copper Canyon. The views were amazing, stunning and awe isnspiring. My pictures don't come close to capturing the majestic beauty of this place. Daniela, who owns the tour company with her husband, picked me up at 9:30 and we drove for about an hour to San Luis de Majimachi which is a small village. I walked around the village for a bit and then we ate at the home of (I need the name) who was our guide for the hike. Throughout the day Daniela talked with me throughout the day about the Tarahumara. It was an extremely educational and amazing day.
