The Grand Canyon.  We choose to take the train to the Grand Canyon village inside the park.  It was a very nice experience that also included a train robbery on the way back.  Unfortunately we don't have space on our blog to load all the pictures we took of the Grand Canyon.  It is really hard to see it in photos anyway.  We encourage everyone to visit this park if you can.

How cold do we look?  It was in the fifties but the wind was cold.

It was nice to have a partly cloudy day.  Having the shadows gave our pictures more depth.  

See if you can find the '7' in this picture.  If you can you'll see two vertical crevasses to the right of the number 7.  This makes this area of the Grand Canyon the first 7-11.

All this done by one river.

Can you see the north rim?  If you can you are looking over 10 miles away.

Over a mile deep.  At the bottom is a small encampment.  This would be just at the beginning of the trees you see below.
