Monday 22nd April 2013 we left Utah bound for
more adventure and our first stop was at Grand Canyon Arizona. Just driving towards the National Park were
many amazing rock canyons and crevices.
It made you think do we really need to go to the real place? And the answer of course is YES. I was overwhelmed! Lucky for us on the day we visited was free
National Parks Visit in all of America so it was a double bonus for us. There are quite a few entrances into the park
and quite a few bus routes to take to view all the canyons. We had so much fun exploring and trying
various photos that would depict us actually jumping or falling off into the
canyon. I also enjoyed learning about some of the history of the American
Indians from around that area. We also met
some fun German tourists on one of the bus routes and of course they absolutely
adored Daniel!
We stayed at the Canyons until sunset so we could see the
amazing effects of colours against the sandy brown of the canyons. It was
glorious and we were so blessed to have a wonderful day to witness this. Unfortunately it got very cold towards the
end of this sunset so we packed up and were able to stay in the Grand Canyon
National Park. Such an amazing place
that I vote as my favourite thing to see in America besides attending General
Conference!
When we did leave the Grand Canyon we were really surprised to see a lot of Elk just roaming the streets around this small town…they seemed really tall – just one of those weird things you see sometimes but I suppose that is what people think when they see wildlife on our roads and highways!
