Grand Canyon, AZ

We got into the Grand Canyon late at night, which I recommend highly, since that means you don't have to pay your entrance fee. I mean, we have a National Parks pass, so it doesn't really matter, but just to let yall know... early morns and late nights = free park entrance.


We spent the night in a parking lot right by the visitors center and woke up the next morning to take a hike to the rim. The elevation is about 7000 feet, enough so it got nice and chilly in the van at night. We took a walk with Fred for about a mile to see some nice views.


The size of the Grand Canyon is almost unfathomable, and definitely worth a trip out to AZ.



On our way out of the park, we saw a giant elk on the side of the road!


We also visited The Watchtower, designed by Mary Colter, the same woman who did La Posada.

It was undergoing a bit of renovation, but still really nice.

But, it was time to move on, as always, and we jetted outta there and onwards to Utah!
