This was supposed to be posted last June but i dropped off the blog verse so here goes.
It seems we just can’t stay away. Once again last March, our plans to visit the Grand Canyon were thwarted due to weather. So we rebooked ourselves for late May when we knew there would be no snow there.
My health is proved quite a bit. I am able to manage the back pain and deal with the results pretty well through a course of exercise, stretching, cycling, and some low impact pain meds like they say better living through chemistry no no opioids, though no way.
During our March trip to southern Arizona, we planned a four day journey instead of the usual two day journey. It was a bit which turned out to be a bit too much. We arrived too early at our locations with not much to do nearby.
So this trip, we decided to make it a two day trip and actually it worked out really well. First night. We went over the Donner Pass and down the 93 to Beatty stayed the night and then on to the Grand Canyon the next day arriving in Williams for lunch at our favorite tacos Place
This trip was truly a Grand Canyon vacation. We drove to the Grand Canyon stayed in, stayed in the Grand Canyon and drove home.
Trying to book campgrounds at the last minute at the Grand Canyon, as well as other famous national parks, prove to be quite challenging. Fortunately using website called Wanderinglabs.com, enabled us to score a last minute cancellation for three nights at Mather campground in the same location. I made a bunch of one day reservations at Trailer village. Total of 6 nights.
It was a real fun trip we cycled every day out to Hermits rest (6 days in a row). We hiked down to Cedar Ridge. We walked along whole crest trail from Bright Angel to Kaibab.
Weather was fantastic and the Memorial Day weekend wasn’t too bad. Some photos with captions below.
