We’re camped in the National Forest a few miles south of the Grand Canyon South Entrance. There are a few other campers scattered about but the closest to us is a quarter mile away. It’s a peaceful spot. The forecasted low overnight was the low forties yet when we wake up the inside trailer temperature is a brisk 36 degrees. Time to turn on the heat. Ninety nine percent of the time Wells makes the coffee but with the cabin so cold he’s not moving yet. Marsha, the wonderful person that she is gets up and makes the first pot of coffee. Slowly the cabin warms and we enjoy our hot coffee.
We are on to the big hole in the ground just north off us. We head to the main Visitor Center then hike the Rim Trail west to Grand Canyon Village maybe two miles away. The sun is still relatively low and light and shadows show off the canyon. The first half mile from the visitor center is crowded and the further we go the more the crowds thin. There are more crowds as we get closer to Grand Canyon Village. The views along the trail are breathtaking.
The afternoon has us driving the park road 25 miles east and the views continue to be breathtaking.
We arrive back at the camper and enjoy a bit of reading and nap time then we break out the grill and enjoy a salad and pork chops.
