Day 10, Tuesday, Aug 9, Basecamp Flagstaff, AZ visit The Grand Canyon

Hey Ana and Sam, we are thinking of you!  Bella sent a postcard today :)

We drove to the Grand Canyon today.  What an awesome sight!  You can't imagine anything so vast.  There was a light drizzle when we got there, so we ate lunch and headed out on a trail that lead to the rim.  By the time we got to the rim, the skies had cleared (which made me happy because the shuttle bus driver informed us that 6 people had been hit by lightening last week - one died).

This is who greeted us on the path from the parking lot to the visitor's center

How cute is that?

The Grand Canyon - at last!



Sitting on the edge.  Yikes!





when the sun came out, it was amazing!

the road back to Flagstaff went through the hills - so beautiful

we saw a rainbow!
