Today began with a very early start. We had set the alarm to wake us up in time to see the sunrise while sitting on the edge of the Grand Canyon. A few of us huddled on the cliffs and waited for the sun to show itself and expose the magnificent colours little by little until the Canyon was a blaze …

Day 6: We drove from LA to Grand Canyon early that day and arrived at the South Rim in the evening. We stayed on a campground about 2-3 miles from the rim in the woods. Once we left the car, we were surrounded by deer, which is very gentle there, because it´s used to humans. It got dark pretty soo…

Thursday-  Tyler and I decided to get up just after 5 am in hopes of catching the sunrise over the Canyon.  Dawn, never a morning person, decided to sleep in. "I'll look at the video later", she mumbled as she rolled over in her sleeping bag. Her loss!  There was a chill in the morni…

This trip actually started as a school field trip.  My class spent 4-5 days traveling all around Arizona hitting up Phoenix, Scottsdale, Sedona, Grand Canyon and other stops in between.  Our sight seeing started at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West.  While not a natio…

Today was the day! We’re going to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. We had to be at Scenic Airlines, about a mile south of the hotel, at 7:30AM. As expected we were running behind, but we made it only about 10 minutes late. That was no big deal, as our flight did not leave until 8:00. “Our flight…

We started very early from Phoenix, wanting to get the most out of the day. It's, if I rememeber correctly, about 3 hours drive from Phoenix. We stoped at 4B's Cafe and had breakfast. Moving on, we drove thru Flagstaff and up to the Canyon. ( I have had this fascination for Route 66 since I was a k…

Living my entire life in CA you'd think that I would have made it to the Grand Canyon before no. My parents weren't really the road trip types though. It finally took a girl weekend to do it. And I know I'll have to go back someday. I know some people think its a big tourist attraction or just a bi…

Today was the Grand Canyon, but from the North Rim. Most times you will see reviews and blogs from the south rim, which is the most popular point for tourists. We drive about 80 miles south from Kanab, Utah to the end of the road.   We spent nearly the entire day strolling along at one poin…
