Today we descended into the Grand Canyon! We first parked at Grand Canyon Village to get information and a snack. After eating and checking out the gift shops, we got back in the car and drove to the start of the Kaibab trail. Because Anya had a bad cough, we decided that we would just walk down as far as she could go. We ended up getting all the way to Ooh Ahh Point, where we stopped for some lunch and rested. After chilling out for a bit and taking pictures of squirrels, we started to walk back up. It was quite a wavy steep path, but it gave a great view of the canyon. Fun fact, only 1% of Grand Canyon visitors go into the canyon, most just viewing from above. After getting back to the top, we drove back to GCV and then caught a bus to a rim trail from Bright Angel to Hopi Point. Once getting to Hopi Point we waited around for sunset, which was quite spectacular. Once we finished with that we took the bus back to GCV and then drove home. We ate at the reasturant in the hotel again, and then drove out to the middle of nowhere to look at the stars. In the distance over the canyon I saw a storm cloud and lot’s of lightning coming from it, but it was far enough that we couldn’t hear it. We then went back home and went to sleep.
