The Great Western Road Trip 2018: Grand Canyon

We arrived at the Grand Canyon Thursday night and it was relatively cool so we decided to spend some time walking:


View from the rim trail right by our room


Overlook Point


El Tovar
Partway down Bright Angel Trail

 

We called it an early evening, but I got up ahead of sunrise on Friday morning and took some pictures:







Once the sun had risen and everyone else was moving, we headed west towards Desert View tower, stopping at viewpoints along the way:


Horseshoe Mesa



Our first clear peek at the Colorado

I liked the image of this guy sitting on the rim painting




Desert Watchtower

We ate at a lodge restaurant to celebrate Abby's actual birthday and then caught the sunset at Hopi Point:




Tomorrow, onward towards Arches.
