Out of all of the posts I have done on our 3 week trip out west this past June (this will be the 22nd post), I realized that I haven't done any posts on the Grand Canyon (other than the sunset ones). AND--the Grand Canyon was one of the main reasons we took that long trip...
SO---today I will share a group of photos taken on June 14, our FIRST views of this amazing place. We entered the canyon from the East Entrance ---and stopped at the Desert View area for our first views....
These first views were the ones we remember the most.... Hope you enjoy these photos --taken on the eastern end of the Grand Canyon. Click on the photos to enlarge.
You can see the Colorado River below. I love seeing all of the colors in the canyon.
This is the Grand Canyon Desert View Watchtower.
Isn't this just awesome???? PLEASE make a trip to the Grand Canyon at least once in your lifetime... (But--don't go in the hot and very CROWDED summer like we did!!!)
I don't think one can EVER take a bad picture here. The colors are amazing!
We want to go back to the Grand Canyon ---and visit the north rim... We also want to come back to the south rim in a different season!!! Another word of advice: Stay in the canyon. We stayed off-site --and even though they have a shuttle, it wasn't as nice as staying in the 'village'.....
Here are two happy people who are so glad to be here!!!!!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and please stay WARM. A cold front is coming --and our low on Saturday night is going to be 34... Yipes!!!! I will see you on Monday.
Hugs,
Betsy
