Grand Canyon

The final stop of this Christmas trip....Grand Canyon!  We arrived at the East Entrance right at sunset.






The next day, we were planning on hiking down into the canyon on the South Kaibab trail....

....but the trail was covered in ice.  Crampons were needed and we couldn't find any that were our size...AND they cost $25 a pair, so we elected to just enjoy a nice leisurely walk along the South Rim trail.


Down there where the trees are is the location of a ranch where you can stay.  Someday....




I got Onions to agree that someday, I could sign us up for a river rafting trip.  I think we are going to have to work up to a Grand Canyon trip!


As we were leaving the park....we saw fauna!!  Sunlit white butts.

And a fox!

Sunset at the Grand Canyon....makes you feel small but also amazed at the beauty on this earth.
