A Visit to the Grand Canyon

Sue and I recently visited the Grand Canyon for a day trip. We haven't been there for a little over 3 years...just before we got married. We're glad we decided to go. St. George was over 100 degrees, and while still hot, 80 degrees seemed like a nice spring day to us.

We had a chance to visit most of our favorite lookout spots and trails on the North Rim and even met a few nice tourists throughout the day. I think the predominant languages for the day were German and French, with a little East Indian thrown in for good measure.

The vast beauty of this treasure is truly breathtaking and unsurpassed. I think they really named this canyon "Grand" because it truly is "Grand". Our country has so many of these special national treasures that are scattered throughout the nation. During our travels it never ceases to amaze me of the utter vastness that it there for us to enjoy. Here's a few photos to remind everyone what they have been missing since there last visit....enjoy
