Grand Canyon

We are at the majestic Grand Canyon! We were at the north rim about 24 years ago but have never been to the south rim. We are staying at a lovely national forest campground, just south of the entrance to the park, in Tusayan, AZ. Would you believe $5.00/night! Quiet and peaceful and you can hear the wind blowing through the pine trees. We were the first campers of the season – the campground just opened May 1.

It was cold (in the 40’s and windy with snow flurries) today so we saw the IMAX film about the canyon and then took the scenic Desert View Drive to the far eastern end. There is a high tower there – you can climb the inside stairs and get great – warm! – views of the canyon. We stopped at several look out points along the way and were awed at all of them. No words to describe its beauty!
