Grand Canyon - South Rim 2

One note: apparently it's difficult to keep a blog when you don't have internet. Oh well.


Yippee! The South Rim Visitor Center. It was so much busier than the north and east areas. It actually took a bit of adjustment to get used to the Disney World type crowds.
Shawn said I made a crazy face. Maybe it's an authentic wild animal face, okay?! This one is boring! When we finally took a look over the rim, we spotted the trail that my brother hiked last year. That's right. Nutcase hiked all the way to Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the canyon. You can't even see it from here it's that far down into the depths of the Grand Canyon.
Shawn and I can both honestly say that we had no urge to follow in his footsteps. Instead we had a drink on a porch swing. Aaaaaaahhh.Behold the beauty. Those matching t-shirts feature multiple wolves, some type of deer, moon, stars, etc. I was pretty impressed.For our stay at the South Rim, I splurged a bit on our accommodations. Hoo boy was it worth it! We had a Bright Angel partial view cabin and it was awesome.

We didn't know what to expect from the outside.
The inside was great. It was big, clean and had a nice renovated bathroom.
But the BEST part was the location. It was directly on the rim trail. We were about 20 feet from the canyon edge. Afternoon ranger talk right outside.
Oh, and the canyon was pretty fab too.
I guess we shouldn't make fun of other couple's shirts. Clearly we have an affinity for bright colors and wicking fabrics.
More California condors.

I know how much you like to wear matching shirts - so - I'll be on the look-out for those wolf shorts to give you as gifts! Ha, Ha! The Canyon pics continue to be so beautiful. When will you be posting some Vegas photos? Mom (:
