I had visited the North Rim of the Grand Canyon last summer and now I finally got to see the South Rim. It was pretty impressive and well, grand.
It is amazing to stand on the edge of a huge precipice that seems to stretch on forever knowing that I have now been on both sides. I would love to go across the canyon at some point in my life.
It is hard to imagine that there is so much beauty everywhere in the world. Without seeing things like this, I would never have believed that just around the corner is an amazing sight like this.
Out on this white pillar I spotted another rare sight hidden in the trees. It was making strange sounds and crawling around in the bushes. So of course I went to investigate. There in the bushes was…..
The Gabriel! He was only one of many interesting sights we saw. The Colorado River could be sen far below in the canyon.
The colors were phenomenal and created such depth in the canyon that the entire canyon was just breath-taking.
At the edge of the East side of the canyon was the Watchtower. An impressive tower that you could climb into and overlook the canyon.
We also found some ruins that were interesting. However, no indian ruins seem nearly as impressive as Mesa Verde was.
We ended our day by taking a quick visit to Sunset Crater Volcanic National Monument. It was slightly disapoointing because there was no crater you could go see, just volcanic rock.
It was a long but impressive day. Tomorrow we are exploring Sedona!
