DAY 4 Part 2 - THE GRAND CANYON!

Not sure why, but the colors really wash out when uploading to the blog - go figure.
It was pretty hazy at the canyon today, not sure why.  We even waited til late in the day when they say lighting is best - but everything was still muted.  It was slightly overcast.....
In any event, it was still spectacular to see!  Stunning!


This was the first view of the canyon out the car window


Canyon with the Colorado river in the background, Erica, Jenna and Marissa (nervous about getting too close to the edge)


Inside the Watchtower.  The one and only time we have been brave enough to let someone else touch the camera.  Luckily he was trustworthy.








Not having a good hair day, but, oh well...







Sleeping at the Holiday Inn Express in Tusayan (town just south of the south rim).  Nice but very small room (only because we are squishing two extras in here).  Small, dark pool area, and super crowded.  No vacancy.  But it's clean, and that's what really matters.  Good night.  See you tomorrow.

Man, the Grand Canyon is cool. I hope the camera is capturing the color well in real life!

That vertical picture with the edges of branches to frame the canyon in the background is amazing! Why were you worried to let someone else hold the camera? What camera did you take?
