Well, if you want to see the Grand Canyon without crowds, the time to go is mid-October.
On Wednesday, the weather was cold and windy. We decided to drive Desert View Drive and stop at the various overlooks along the way. The idea of a hike in that cold wind was unappealing.
The weather on Thursday was significantly better, largely because the wind was non-existent.
Our original plan had been to bike Hermit Road, but we decided it was still too cold to spend a lot of time outdoors. Instead, we opted for the shuttle bus.
I’ve come to the conclusion that no photograph can do justice to the Grand Canyon. The closest one can come to portraying the magnitude and awesomeness of this geographical feature is through paintings.
I am looking forward to trying my hand at capturing the Grand Canyon in watercolor once we get home.
Sadly, we only had two days at the Grand Canyon, and we didn’t make the most of them. I would have loved to have hiked the South Kaibab Trail, but neither one of us was feeling energetic enough.
I would also have loved a plane ride through the canyon!
Today, we arrived at our final planned stop for this camping trip, Lake Mead and Hoover Dam.
After this stop, we begin the long journey home.
