Tate and I were able to take a few days off and head to the Grand Canyon! Words cannot describe how awesome it was. I took about 375 pictures, but none of them can compare to the real deal. We traveled to the south rim, which is about 7,200 feet in elevation. Yesterday, we spent just a couple of hours there, but the cold and high wind made it almost miserable. Today, we spent more time and even hiked a little ways up the trail..not down! Those people have to be insane! Most of the canyon sides were covered in snow and ice. At several different areas, we saw several foot prints where people had hiked down the slick path.. no thank you!
A mule deer on the side of the road by the entrance. They are very, very tame.
A place to fill up your water bottle with Grand Canyon spring water.
Entrance to the first look-out
Sign read "People have fallen here"
Geology Musuem
On our way back towards New Mexico, we saw the sign for a Scenic View and thought we would stop.
Navajo Indian Roadside Store
We stopped and looked at their stuff. A lot of their jewelry was really cool.
My pictures are slightly out of order. This is where we stayed in Scottsdale on the way to the Canyon. Got a super good deal on an awesome resort. I love Priceline :) The ceiling was my favorite part!
The outside and patio
This was right outside our room...so cool!
We stayed in Williams, Arizona last night. It was a neat old Route 66 town. Best part..the hotel had a pool!
This was one of the trails that lead to the bottom. Most of the trail head was covered in ice. We weren't feeling that brave :)
Tonight, we are staying in Holbrook, Arizona. Tate and I got to do laundry for the first time together on the trip..how sweet lol :)
Tomorrow we play in Silver City, New Mexico. But, before we head that way, we will be stopping by the Petrified Forest..it looks so cool! That's all for now..better get some rest.
