The Grand Canyon

We are staying in Williams, AZ so we can spend some time at the Grand Canyon. We have never been here before and I am so glad we decided to take the time to see this magnificent scenic wonder. I won’t be writing much, just putting pictures on here.100_3981 100_3982  100_3988100_3992 100_3996 The Colorado River was real muddy when we were there.  100_4000100_4011 100_4038 100_4075 100_4089 If you look at the above picture, you will see 2 rafts on the river. 100_4093 100_4051 100_4087  100_4153We saw a small herd of Elk on our way out of the park. The next day we went back to the park to see the sunset. As we were on the bus going to the certain point we wanted to be at, we saw this guy.100_4425 It was almost like he was posing. There were so many people taking his picture, that he would eat and lift his head up and eat and then lift his head up. He was not afraid of the people. 100_4433 100_4429 100_4439 He has had it with his photo op. Off he goes into the woods. This was his mate that was just across the street from him.100_4440 100_4442 100_4451 Hey, LaVon, I did not forget your dead tree. This was in the evening.100_4449100_4480 100_4482 100_4498 We headed back to the camper. Tomorrow we will be heading down to Quail Run where we will be spending the next 6 months. The pictures do not do this justice either. It is breathtaking and a must see sometime in your lifetime. We were so glad we spent the time here. We loved it and may even go back up when the snow is on the ground to see what it looks like then. We will keep you posted. Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Really enjoyed all your pictures. We need to go back there as it has been a long time since we have been there. Caught up with your blog - good job.
