Today we headed up to the Grand Canyon. About 70 miles from Williams. Thought that since it is not high season we would be able to drive the whole south rim. BUT no - they have closed most of it - have to take their bus. we opted to just see what we could. We went to the visitor's center which is being rebuilt. It amazed me that it is not on the edge with a bank of windows looking out on the canyon. We watched their movie about the canyon which was pretty good. Then we went to the El Tovar Lodge - that is where Ginnie and I stayed in 2002. Parking was a premium but we got a spot - thanks Jack. We walked along the rim abit there. It is an awesome site. Then we went to the Market Place store and hooked up the granddaugters with cute shirts - don't worry Matthew, you already have your trip present! Then we wnet to the Geological Museum which according to the info in the museum has the BEST view of the canyon. And it is a good one. You can see all the way down to the river - can even see the foot bridge that goes across the river! Great views! Tomorrow we head to Santa Fe. The RV Park where we have reservations said we have to be there bt 6 at the very latest so we are going to be up and at 'em early! Enjoy the pics of the Canyon.
