Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is massive. We went in on the north (and less traveled) rim.

We started off traveling a little bit of the super-long Kaibab Trail. The mules travel this trail daily. There was crap everywhere! ...flies too. The down side of Grand Canyon trails is that since the canyon is so large, the views don't really change along the trails.

We drove to a place called Cape Royal and got some way better views. All in all, the sheer size was impressive, but the trails- not so much.

We saw huge birds! They were either condors, golden eagles, or red-tailed hawks...not sure which. I saw a jackrabbit on the way to Cortez, CO. A rabbit with GIANT ears.
