Total Miles: 3818
We left Bryce Campground and drove to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. When we entered Arizona, we gained an hour because Arizona isn't on DST. In Page, Arizona, we stopped and saw the Glen Canyon Dam. Once we set up at the campground and ate supper, we went to the rim of the Canyon. The immenseness and diversity in the canyon was impressive. We were surprised by the rain and cold we found there. Even though the weather was cloudy, the sunset was still pretty good. After pancakes the next morning, we headed out to the rim, where we held our own church service. The place was mobbed because it was Memorial Day weekend, and very few people were speaking English. We took a shuttle bus to Yaki point, where we hiked just under a mile on a steep trail into the canyon to Ooh Ahh point. It wasn't easy, but was worth it for the view and experience. The weather was quite warm until it started to rain on the way up. Then we were wet and cold. In the afternoon we took the shuttle to many of the scenic overlooks in the western area of the park. The sun came out and the views were spectacular. We stayed and watched a beautiful sunset at Mojave point.

ReplyDeleteHow is the weather? We had a good amount of rain today but that made it cooler for us. We made sure we had a site with electricity tonight so we could use the air but we have the heat on!
