The Grand Canyon: We took a tour to the grand canyon organized through our hostel. We walked up to a view point looking at the floor (following instructions from our guide) then closed our eyes facing the canyon then opened them. It was amazing! So incredible it literally brought a tear to my eye. It feels like your brain will explode because the canyon is impossible to comprehend. Photos don't do it justice. It's the most amazing thing I have ever seen! We went to lots of view points and went for a short hike into the canyon.
Animal count: 1 coyote! Close up chipmunk. Lizards. A squirrel that was so tame I gave it a squidge. Cuddled a mule.
Dinner: Food we cooked at the hostel. Sat by the window watching a bluegrass band play in a beer garden across the street.
Weather: Not too hot as at 7000ft, but sunny and very exposed. Some thunderstorms which made our guide a bit twitchy as hikers have a tendency to be struck by lightening!
