24/10/2009 - We left Kanab early in the morning to drive the 200 miles to the Grand Canyon. Kanab is actually only 80 miles or so from the north rim of the Grand Canyon, but the south rim is more accessible. We had booked a hotel in Tusayan about 20 miles south of Grand Canyon Village where all the National Park lodgings are, as it worked out ab...

Od včerejška máme zamluvenej let vrtulníkem nad velkým kaňonem a to na 13:30, takže z kempu startujeme striktně už v 10, což je asi nejdřív za celou dobu. Jsme několik desítek mil od městečka Kayenta, který je poslední osadou před bránou nár. parku. Na letišti máme být půl hod...

The Grand Canyon is, unlike the grossly misnamed Rio Grande, Grand in both senses of the word. It is immensely large, but also amazing in its grandeur. Christine and I walked along the rim today from Mather Point to Hermits R...

The drive up to the Grand Canyon National Park was nerve wracking! The road itself was perfectly fine. We were on highways much of the time, and paved roads all of the time. Nor was there much steep climbing or sharp descents, although there was a fair amount o...

Heute ging schon wieder ein Tag ganz schön schnell vorbei. Um 8 Uhr ging es zum Monument Valley, bekannt aus der Malboro Werbung. Dort machten wir die Rundfahrt mit dem Auto auf - wie schon des Öfteren - unbefestigten Straßen. Ganz schön wackelig die Geschichte und nichts für jemanden dem es schnell schlecht wird oder der es im Rücken hat....(Te...

Woke up to a wet pillow as it had been chucking down with rain since 10pm last night and the rear window beside the bed appears to be leaking! Sky still full of clouds and occasional rain. We had to put the duvet on the bed last night it was that cold! Another yomping into the Canyon day, this time down the Bright Angel trail. We met a couple on...

Words cannot really describe or do justice to the magnitude and beauty of the Grand Canyon so you will forgive me if for the major part of this blog entry I just let words do the talking. We were collected at the rather unsociable hour of 0625 from our Las Vegas Hotel (New York New York) and began the journey out to the West Rim of the Grand Ca...

Mel and Han's Grand Canyon: This morning Mum woke us two up at 6:14 in the morning so we could get there before the crowds. We left at 7:38. The Grand Canyon was so amazing at first sight, and nothing like we imagined. Instead of a smooth deep bowl or a open box of rocks, it was a wide rocky canyon with cliffs and small branching 'canyons'. Ther...

Grand Canyon is amazígn, but I regreg I hadn´t enought time to descend into it and stay longer. Viewing from upside, it is still good, but somehow I miss the right experience.

Day 20 Well, E had a pretty rough night of sleep again, but he feels much better and was really hungry again for the first time in a few days. So, we decided to pack it up and hit the road. After cleaning the dishes and getting everything back in the van we started making our way towards the Grand Canyon. Time to get back on Route 66. After you ...
