Grand Canyon National Park
Arizona does not adopt Daylight Savings. Therefore, we are
currently three hours behind the East Coast. It is much brighter in the
morning, and dark earlier at night.
Mom and I hope to catch the sunset over the Grand Canyon tonight, which
will be around 7:30pm.
Today we took the shuttle and explored Hermit’s Rest. This is
the western part of the south rim that is not accessible by private vehicles.
The sights were beautiful, but the canyon doesn’t seem to change that much at
each viewpoint. What does change is your view of the Colorado River.
The Colorado River is running through the center of this
photo. Keep in mind it is over a mile away in depth.
We had lunch at Bright Angel Lodge and took more photos
outside at Lookout Point. This was a common view that the first tourists would
have seen.
We took a photo outside Lookout Point.
Tomorrow, Mom and I plan to hike a little ways into the
canyon. I want to see what it looks like below the rim. The daytrip mule rides
into the canyon are no longer in existence. The rides now require an overnight
stay in the canyon at Phantom Ranch. These reservations are made 13 months in
advance.
Off to sunset tonight and a hike tomorrow!
