Grand Canyon


The next point of interest was the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Well it was most definitely jaw dropping! First of all we were driving for a while through a very forested area (some big areas destroyed by fire) where we didn’t have any view of the canyon then as we got closer to the edge we would catch glimpses and a collective ‘wow’ would ring out from the car! We had a picnic right near the edge….actually the first spot was so near the edge that our food was in danger of being blown away so we moved inland a little.

We then took a walk out to a view point called Angel’s Window, an exposed piece of rock that sticks out into the canyon with miles of views all around. We tentatively ventured out and held on tightly to the kids!

I was at Angel's Window!!!

Probably so have been about 5 million other people. But it still makes me happy to know we all stood there.

Did you see the river? I've been there too!!!
