Grand Canyon



The Grand Canyon lives up to its name.  Its grandness at 1,218,375.54 acres is overwhelming.  Its colors of green, red, brown, yellow constantly change – from subtle hues to dark and intense shades – depending on the mood of the sun and the clouds. 

We stayed at the Trailer Village RV Park in the South Rim for four days.  We were able to do the basic trails and activities for first-time visitors.  That said, we promised to be fit and come back next year. 

We arrived on the afternoon of May 2nd, set up and walked half a mile to the visitor center to get a map and guide. 

The next day, the whole pack set off at 7.30 am to avoid the crowds from the campground to the visitor center.  From there, we continued exploring the Rim Trail until the Bright Angel Trailhead where we stopped for coffee and pastry.  It’s around 5 miles (round-trip).

I took these panoramas using using my iPhone.
