Grand Canyon

The average time a tourist will spend at the canyon is 1 - 2 hrs. They drive up, get out of their cars, take in the view and then off they go to the next great landmark. It took me an hour to get over the fact that I was standing on the edge of the beast of a canyon.



The brightest night skys and smos around the campfire. Howling coyotes made for an excellent alarm for the 3am start to see the amazing sunrise over the canyon.



That morning there was only enough time for a short hike down the canyon along the Khabib Trail. We ate lunch and took in the view and fought off some pretty fierce squirrels. I ended up nursing some bruises from a fall on the way down the slippery dusty path. Took forever to clean off the canyon dirt.
