Thursday 28th May
On a lovely sunny and warm day, we set off on the 80 mile journey to the Grand Canyon.
Parts of the landscape resemble Mongolia, and we spy an old mobile home with a wooden cabin about 100 yards away from it, the Arizona version of a Mongolian Ghur.
There is only one word to describe the canyon AWESOME. It really is unbelievable, and a bit scary as it is very deep.
We spend our time visiting the viewing points and are awestruck at the vastness.
On our way back to Flagstaff we call off at a visitor centre where there is an Imax film of the Canyon. It is a good thing that we hadn’t had much for lunch. It was fantastic. We have bought a copy but haven’t had time to watch it yet. Perhaps we will get the chance when we reach Maryville.
