Today we made it to the canyon!! We spent the day doing all the touristy things. We started at the visitors center. We listened to a history presentation, got our park passport stamped and then walked to Mather Point to the most amazing views I’ve ever seen. We took pictures and saw some wild life. The elk are just walking around and the squirrels want to try to get in your lap.
The we went further into Canyon Village where we shopped and ate at the historic El Tovar restaurant. We also decided to see what the end of Bight Angel Trail looked like so we would know our finishing point for Tuesday so we hike down that trail a bit. We met several groups of hikers coming up from doing exactly what we will be doing so we talked with them and encouraged them along.
Last, we caught a shuttle up to Hopi Point to watch the sunset. It’s hard for pictures to really do it justice and there is no way to capture how big it is in one shot. God’s handiwork is truly amazing! On the way back we happened to see the moon eclipse that was breathtaking, as well.
