Grand Canyon...

We left LA about 7am and headed for the Grand Canyon it took about 8 hours to get there. We arrived about 3pm and immediately jumped on the shuttle bus so that we could get started. We went to South Kaibab Trailhead which was absolutely amazing. I don't know what I thought the Grand Canyon was going to look like but I was aw struck. It was a sunny day with some cloud coverage which made it hard to see in the distance but it was so neat the way the clouds and the earth met in the distance. Bree and I took our obligatory pictures on the cliff's edge and then proceeded to the shuttle bus stop where we were greeted by some ELK drinking out of the human water fountain. Totally Freaky! We took the shuttle bus up to Yaki Point and took some more pictures and Bree found her "Thinking Rock"...
We decided to go to the village and eat something and buy our post cards and magnets. The village was pretty cool there were lots of shops and it was like a little village...i guess that's why they call it Grand Canyon Village!
We loaded up on the shuttle bus again and headed to Powell Point and Mojave Point. We enjoyed each and every stop on our little Grand Canyon adventure. Bree was very particular about the different points that we went to because she didn't want to see the same rocks over and over again....yes I know she is weird!
She also decided that she wants to come back and hike and camp and I made it very clear I would not be coming with her.

4/5 hours in the Grand Canyon was absolutely amazing and worth every minute a good end to a long trip! Bree will definitely be back.
