March 15
Feeling guilty for having missed the Grand Canyon so decided to give it another go.
Even tho I've seen it several times before, it always takes my breath away.
And besides, I can still hear my Dad yelling at us kids in the back of the station wagon on family vacations "Put down those comic books, for crissake, you're at the Grand Canyon!"
Arriving at the Grand Canyon Park entrance was an exercise in frustration.
And it's not even summer season yet!
My Senior National Park pass saved me $30
Took the shuttle from the campground to the Visitor Center at the South rim.
Breathtaking
Wandered around all day until evening
Sunset over the rim
Next morning at the suggestion of friend Patt, got up at 5 to see the 6:35 sunrise.
Trust Patt to know a truly spiritual experience and it was.
48 degrees, fingers freezing but worth it
First morning light over the canyon
Easy to understand why this is the #1 American destination of Europeans
