May 16 - Grand Canyon South Rim






Decided to make a day trip from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon South Rim rather than moving the trailer. It was a fairly easy drive with some nice scenery.

A few miles south of the park we turned off onto a forest service road to find a good place to walk a little. I wanted to tire Sunny out since her activities at National Parks are limited. We found a great little parking spot and headed off into the woods. No one around. Sunny sniffed up a deer carcass and was in bone heaven! Needless to say we did not take any bones home with us. Drove a couple fire lanes exploring the forest.

The Grand Canyon was stunning. Again pictures don’t do it justice. Amazing power of water. There we tons of tourist around, probably 80% of whom were foreigner travelers. We checked out the visitor’s center and several overlooks. Took a lot of pictures. Visited the Watchtower at the eastern end of the park and headed back towards Flagstaff on a different road than we took up.
