Grand Canyon

We arrived at the Grand Canyon at a pretty decent time. We stopped at a few scenic points and even saw a rattle snake at the visitor’s center. There were lots of people at the park, a lot more than in any other one we have been in. We decided to take the shuttle bus to the last scenic point and then do a spirited 5.5 mile hike back to Hopi point, which is where the best views of the sunset are. The hike was relatively simple (smooth, level ground) and we were able to cover this distance in two hours. We arrived at Hopi point, found a non crowded spot, and had some snacks and water while watching the sun set over the tremendous canyon.
