We are on the road again trying to add to our bucket list of things to complete. We are gypsies at heart and will try to visit the National Parks out West, tour Oregon and Washington States, sight see the western part of British Columbia, and Back to Alaska. Of course, we can't not visit Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and any states in between. So, come and join us in our adventure.

Grand Canyon -- Day Two

We were up early again this morning to beat the crowd.  By noon there are quite a lot of people riding the suttles - the only way around the Canyon.  We traveled to the East side of the South Rim.  How awesome.  A different look to the canyon.  There are not that many people who visit this side.  One of the major hiking trail starts from here and you are able to look into the canyon and see parts of this trail.  We then went to the Geological Museum and what views we had.  We could see the Bright Angel Trail, Phantom Ranch, and the North Rim Grand Canyon Lodge.  Believe it or not we got a picture of the lodge and it was almost ten miles away.  What a zoom on that Nikon.  We then left the Canyon and went to the National Geographic IMax theater.  Tomorrow we will do wash and leave on Wednesday for Needles California.  The weather here is crazy--- 78 during the day and 33 during the night.  We are now three hours behind ya'll and in a few days we will be 4 hours.  The Canyon was amazing to see what water and errosion can do to a landscape.  Here is one of my favorite pictures.

Miss ya'll
