ROAD TRIP JOURNAL: The Grand Canyon

 

The next stop on the see-where-we-go-next-unplanned-road-trip was The Grand Canyon! We had driven to the Grand Canyon the night before. Going through the Kaibab Forest at night so the next morning when we went to the Grand Canyon and we all had a breath in take as we looked over the edge. The canyon is so vast and deep that it is unbelievable. 

We walked along the rim of the canyon for a few hours. We stopped often to take photos of the different views along the way. 

The traditional dyes for Navajo Rugs. 

As we drove it was cool to see the very different styles of rocks, mountains, and sand colors. 

The Muggles were laughing as we walked along with some other tourists and they spotted some squirrels, one man said "Look at the Prairie Dog." My two Muggles laughed about that for several days. Every time we saw a squirrel after that they would point and yell, "A Prairie Dog!"   

As we were at the Visitor's Center several elk wandered through. Like the squirrels, they are clearly used to people, they were not bothered at all by the many people taking photos. Again, it was funny to hear all these people guess what animal it was. HAHA
