Welcome to Arizona! The road goes on forever and the party never ends!
Very bad wreck on hwy 67 about 40 miles north of the Grand Canyon campground. We are stopped in the roadway waiting for the medical heli. A small RV rental flipped. Man with bad head injury.
Took about an hour to get the road open again.
The drive from there on to the Grand Canyon was just wonderful...beautiful meadows, pine forests and groves of aspens. In another few weeks it will be bursting with spectacular color both here and at Zion. Zion is covered in cottonwoods and I love how they look in the fall. Reminds me of our trip to Santa Fe two years ago. Need to go there again and eat some posole! Yum!
57 degrees here today. Went to the lodge and walked out to Angel's point for our first look at the canyon. So much larger than I had expected and we were only seeing a tiny piece of it. Takes your breath away.
The campground here is really beautiful. It is in a pine forest with plenty room between sites. The camp host came right over to meet us when he noticed our texas plates. He's from Beaumont.
Fancy dinner of grilled brats and red wine. Lol! Look at all the room in this campground!
And I almost missed the sunset!
Tomorrow at 12:30 I take a half day mule ride into the canyon. Should be fun!
