Grand Canyon

 Wow! What a week!  We spent 3 days at the Grand Canyon even though we were gone for 5 days, 2 of those were spent traveling.  We were on the south rim, and stayed in the town of Tusayan. We spent 8+ hours at the Grand Canyon every day.  It was fun, and exhausting.  Between the pictures I took and the pictures my sisters took, I have over 200 pictures.  I obviously won't be posting all of them, but I will do a photo dump here.  You're welcome.  😉

This last picture is so funny because our room service only made one bed.  All week we never had a bed made and the last day we get back and my sister's bed was made, but not mine.  

I am not scared, at all, of edges.  I will go to the very edge and look straight down, I had maybe 2 or 3 times where I was like woah! but it was rare, and it wasn't bad enough that I would back away.  Sadly, those pictures were taken by my sisters and apparently didn't get backed up to my Google account.  The selfies included above were all on an edge.  

The second day my sister, Nancy, and I waked down the Bright Angel Trail.  It was the main trail to the bottom when people were mining there.  We wanted to get to the first rest stop, which was supposedly a mile and a half down the trail.  However, I turned on my Garmin and when we hit a mile and a half, we were not at the rest stop.  We didn't know how much farther it was, and we were a little worried about the uphill, so we turned around.  One of the spots we stopped at on the third day overlooked the trail and we could see where we turned around and where the stop was.  Sadly we were only about a quarter of a mile away.  We totally could have done it, but we just didn't know.  If I ever go back, I want to hike to the bottom, which would require an overnight stay.
