4 Feb 07 Kingman AZ to Grand Canyon AZ

  A bright sunny morning as we approach Grand Canyon National Park. There are signs of recent snow beside the road, but the roads themselves are clear. We checked in Maswik Lodge for 2 nights – no internet so this will be posted later – and then walked to the closest overlook for the Canyon.

Breathtaking, for sure. The scale is astonishing – it’s a mile to the bottom and 10 miles across! And the colours are as wonderful as all the pictures show. We’re both still feeling the effects of our colds, so are taking it slow and easy. Larry, particularly, is congested and coughing. We opted for a drive along the rim to the west, with stops at a few overlooks. Each viewpoint offers new amazement. There’s still ice on the road and paths, though, so we’re being very cautious. Finally, back to our room for the Super Bowl. A dash to the cafeteria for a quick dinner during half time and a relaxed evening.
