Since we had already seen the mittens and monument valley we decided to head directly to the south rim of the grand canyon.

We drove route 64 into the entrance, stopped along to way to get glimpses into the canyon! So amazing, so huge, so… wow!
It was really cool to be able to share this with hubby! He’s never been to the Grand Canyon and I’d never been to the south rim, so it was really great to share it together.

There didn’t seem to be too many people there the way we drove in, but we found them around one of the main view points! I can’t even imagine what it would be like in the summer. Ugh! We found a parking in a center lot and decided to walk to the rim trail and see what we could see before heading on to Flagstaff!

The view was amazing! We even saw a couple elk!!

After our hike we headed to Flagstaff to find the hotel, rest a little and get some yummy dinner!
