There is not much to say about the Grand Canyon except Wow! We enjoyed some down time there on our adventure. It was relaxing even though we were busy every day.
This was our first time staying in the park and I am so glad they had space for us at the Trailer Village. We were in spot 62 which was away from the rest of the spots and very quiet. We had deer and elk walk thru our site every day. It was awesome! Our little pups didn't make a sound as they watched these majestic creatures wander about. We enjoyed watching them each afternoon.
One thing that was really cool when we went to the viewpoints along the canyon was the reaction of the people that had never seen this place before. If you are quiet and just wait, you'll hear people young and old all saying "Wow!" as they approach the edge. It is definitely a "WOW" factor.
We made several trips to different lookout points and even took the bus to the Hermit's Rest. There are several stops along the way and you can walk the entire distance from the Village to Hermit's Rest. There are lengths that are dirt trails right along the edge and there are paved sections to the next lookout.
Our last day there was forecast to be clear skies so we rose early to watch the sun come up and watch the Canyon change colors. It was beautiful! We decided we had to go back to watch the sunset and it too was amazing. Beautiful!
We went to the Canyon a few years ago with our friends Steve and Jane from Troy, NY. It snowed while we were there and it was so cold. We ate lunch at a wonderful restaurant and I thought I would never forget it. Well, I did. We tried the places we thought it was, but we never found it. I don't know if it has been remodeled or closed. It was fun though trying out all the lunch places. Definitely recommend the Navajo Taco. Very good!
Enough with the chit chat-I'll let the pictures tell the story of this part of our adventure!
