This adventure was undertaken by the 3 sisters and myself. Elizabeth was kind enough to allow us to take her pickup, which allowed for ample room for all of us, as well as a comfortable ride. We left Elizabeth's house around 7:30 am, allowing for a fairly early arrival at the canyon. Upon arrival, we headed over to the overlook trail by the parking lot, getting our photos taken while allowing our eyes to feast upon the surrounding eye candy.

Our next stop was the visitor’s center, where the ladies got their books stamped, as well as purchase of water bottle carriers and such. Then it was out to the bus loading area to catch a shuttle out to the rim. The park was fairly busy, but not as busy as we have seen it in the past. All members of the group appeared to enjoy our visit.

We were all able to get some good photos of the canyon while also getting in a bit of walking along the trails at the different viewpoints along the way. As I recall, Diane was fighting a bit of chest congestion, which did hamper her ability to walk as quickly as she normally does.

We headed back towards home, stopping for a late lunch on our way back south in Tusayan. Cindy and I had to be back by 6 pm to watch a program that Maylyn’s age group was putting on. We arrived back just in time for the program, which was a music presentation featuring rock and roll. The kids did a fantastic job.
