The Grand Canyon

May 20, 2007

We got up early (for us) and went up Rt 180 to the Grand Canyon.  The mountains were very scenic and there was even snow on some of them near the Arizona Snow Bowl ski resort.  We parked the truck and hiked and rode natural gas busses around.   We saw Elk, both dead and alive, as well as California condors with their 9 and a half foot wingspan.  We also hiked down the Bright Angel trail into the canyon for about a mile and them back up.  We came out of the park by way of Rt 64 and 89 through the east gate and the Navajo Nation.  It was a great day but a little too much for A so she read in the truck for the last few stops.
