A very big hole in the ground (AKA - The Grand Canyon)





We arrived in Flagstaff Tuesday afternoon, stayed overnight and headed north for a little more than an hour to the south rim of the Grand Canyon Wednesday morning. The weather was perfect. Blue skies and temps in the high 60's, low 70's. I don't think we could have planned it any better. We hiked along the paved rim trail all day with a stop for lunch at a turn of the century (20th) lodge. We resumed the hike after lunch, rode the tram to the western-most point, hiked back some more and then caught the tram again back to our starting point. I know its trite, but this is a place to put on your must see list. The pictures just don't do it justice.
