Yesterday and today we explored the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Yesterday we travelled west on the free shuttle buses as far as Hermit’s Rest. Today we travelled east by car as far as Desert View. We stopped at every site along the way in both directions. We did walk a bit but it is very difficult in the high elevation. We had sunny weather both days but today is a bit windy.
It’s ridiculous how many photos I took, it was hard to narrow it down to a manageable quantity for the blog. But the views are so spectacular.
We saw some better views of the Colorado River today.
My new favorite historical person is Mary Colter. She was an architect in the early 1900s and designed a number of structures in Grand Canyon. Some are shown below and others I plan to visit during the rest of our stay.
We stopped at the Tusayan Ruins, the remains of an 800 year old Pueblo Indian Village.
And the elk are still visiting frequently.
