Grand Canyon

Our campsite inside the Grand Canyon National Park was really roughing it -- no WiFi! We headed out of the Grand Canyon Saturday morning and we arrived in Albuquerque, NM this evening, where they do have WiFi!

The Grand Canyon was breathtaking -- I found an alternate adjective to awesome!! It's so hard to realize how massive it is from pictures -- you just have to witness it in person. One of the highlights of visiting was seeing some California Condors flying above the canyon. We even got a couple of good pictures of them. Another highlight was seeing an Elk grazing through our campsite! Mike was walking Axel and almost ran into it -- luckily, Axel didn't even notice it. If he had, he probably would have growled and barked at it, waking up all of our campsite neighbors! We got a few great pictures of it too. Oh, and when we first arrived at the south rim trail, we encountered a very friendly squirrel -- he came VERY close to us, and I got a great picture!

Tomorrow on to Colorado Springs and Pike's Peak!
