The Grand Canyon

No Route 66 without the Grand Canyon! Though I must say that I didn't get the best shots due to bad weather and a snow storm. But still, this is definitely a place to visit once in a lifetime.



It is typical to go down the so called "Kaibab-Trail" to the bottom of the Canyon on one day which takes about 6 hours, then stay there overnight and hike up again the next day. Up you need 8 hours. And in the heat of summer that can be quite an exhausting trip. Well, it wasn't hot when we were at the Canyon, even so we didn't climb down because rooms down there have to be booked 13 months in advance.


At least we went down a bit and returned after an hour - this is the steep path leading down.
And as mentioned the first snow encountered us on Walmart
