After driving for a bit less than 3 hours through road constructions and elk territory, we finally made it to the Grand Canyon National Park and hiked along the rim. Naturally I had a cow because it was so incredible. The canyon walls were absolutely spectacular with their vivid coloring and intricate patterns created by layers upon layers of rock. My inner geology geek emerged when we stopped at the Yavapai lookout/Geology museum... there are so many rock layers and different types of rock it was so overwhelmingly cool!!! I'm pretty sure Emily and Isabel got weary of my ranting and raving over rock. I mean it's just rock, come on.
We did get to see some traditional Native American dancing and hear some enchanting songs on flute. After that though it was time to get out of the sunlight and have a nap.
The sunset at the canyon illuminated the walls bright red. So gorgeous. I would definitely love to come back sometime and camp at the bottom. And ride mules. And do insane hikes of death. And see everything there is to see there. And maybe study some rocks. Long story short, I must see the Grand Canyon again before I die.
kinda works
