Trip West - Grand Canyon

 It has been a few day since my last post, so I will try and update you all and post some pics of the Grand Canyon.  We left Show Low, AZ on Monday 05/21 and drove to Tusayan, AZ which is just outside of the Grand Canyon Nation Park.  The campground we stayed at was not the best, but it was all that was available at the time.  After we got set up and ate supper we went to the Canyon for the sunset.  It was awesome.  Then next morning we got up at 4am to get back to the Canyon for the sunrise, which was spectacular, and the pics will not show how great this was.  Here are some pics.
 We saw some Elk as we came into the park to view the sunset.

 The view from the rim is spectacular.
Linda wanted me to take her picture standing on the edge.


 The beginning of the sunset.

More of the sunset.

 The next morning we were up early for the sunrise.

It was a little chilly so everyone was wrapped up.
I even had the blanket I bought in Arizona wrapped around me.
The following pics are later in the day.  We viewed the canyon from a different point.


Linda did a video of the canyon.
I was looking at people hiking on the trails in the canyon.



 We really are enjoying this trip.  It has been very good. We have scratched somethings off our bucket lists, but we have also added a few other too

This was our campsite outside the park.  Very dusty, but we made it.

I will post some pics later of Hoover Dam, Las Vegas and let you know what we did while there.  Today is Saturday May 26 and we are in Hurricane, Utah near Zion National Park.
