We woke up this morning to 15 degrees (brrr!!). The water pump had frozen up so we had no running water while we got ready to leave. But no permanent damage. We brushed our teeth and flushed with drinking water 🙂
Left Bryce Canyon and drove to Grand Canyon. Â On the way we drove through Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
Part of our trip was on route 89. A section of route 89 in Arizona was closed in 2013 due to a landslide. It has been repaired and just re-opened recently. Don’t know if this is the location of the landslide that closed the road but certainly would not have liked being in the vicinity if rocks started sliding.
Arrived in Grand Canyon Park early afternoon.
Staying in Trailer Village Campground.
Walked over to the South Rim (a short walk from the campground) and got our first good look at the canyon.
A herd of elk roams around the campground regularly. We are finally getting to see some wildlife!
