Day 2 found us on the south rim of the canyon. Grand canyon Village is the only access point to the area and from there private vehicles are restricted to the west so we rode the shuttle to all 8 view points along the route. Each one is unique and again we are at a lost for words to attempt to describe how big the canyon is.
You can hike to the bottom or you can take a mule ride to the bottom of the canyon. This pic shows the trail down, of course once you get down you also have to get back up. The temp can be as much as 20-25 degrees hotter at the bottom. If you make the trip you are required to spend the night at the bottom. No one day down and up are allowed. No we did not.
Here you can see the trail across the bottom to the river.
There is beauty in the starkness,
in the contours and the ever changing colour.
Amazing rock formations.
In Places you get a glimpse of the Colorado river, here you see a section of white water.
The National Park Service here gives praise to the creator of this park and all we have seen in our travels, they tell us about millions of years of time and the forces of wind and water but it still comes back to Genesis 1:1
"In the beginning God created........ "
And what a awesome creator He is.
