Drove to the Grand Canyon today. We are about an hour away. Parked at the visitors center and watched an IMAX movie. After the movie we took a shuttle into the park. The canyon is beyond describing. The pictures won't do it justice. We spent the afternoon checking out the view. The park offers shuttle service to all areas of the park. Makes it nice not to have to worry about driving and parking. Tomorrow we are going back but are taking the train. Once there we will take a bus tour and have lunch. It is a full day. If there is still things we don't see tomorrow we will probably go back again on Saturday. It is just amazing to both of us that we are actually here. The only bad thing is the amount of people. It is hard to appreciate the beauty of nature when you can't hear it. We did get off the beaten path a bit and was able to hear the quiet and the insects in the trees. We also had a rock squirrel run by us. Looks similar to our grey ones but these have spots. Weather is a bit better. Still below average temps but more like Maine in the early summer. Warm days cool nights.

OMG!!! The pictures are amazing. I wish I was there. I love how you can see the shadows of the clouds on the ground! It must be a bit chilly for you both to be wearing jackets. Who knew it would be so chilly there this time of year.
