The first thing that comes to mind is.....WOW! It takes your
breath away when you walk out to the viewing areas.
|
|
Looking at some mule and walking trails. It's a LONG way down
there, one mile to be exact!
|
|
 |
|
Cool rock formations...
|
|
You can see for a long ways here!!
|
|
In this shot you can see what seems like forever. Those mountains out
there are over 80 miles away.
|
|
The Colorado River is on the other side of those red cliffs.
|
|
|
Here you can see the river along with some of the rapids. You can take a white-water rafting trip down the river but you better
put in for it over a year in advance. They offer as little as a one day
trip all the way to a 28 day trip.

I know I left my finger prints embedded on most of these hand rails.
Don't lean over the edge to far because.....cya.
|
|
|
Like I said before, pictures just don't show all of the
beauty but it gets close.
This trip was handled by
The
Auto Club and included the following:
-
Two nights at the Fray Marcos Hotel
-
Train ride to and from the Grand Canyon (first class
which includes air, champagne, snacks, drinks)
-
Two buffet dinners at Max & Thelma's
-
Two buffet breakfasts at Max & Thelma's
-
National park entrance fee
-
Special rim tour
-
Two $20.00 gift certificates at either gift shop
This was all done with just a phone
call and we had a great time. I highly recommend this trip if your
looking to get away for a long weekend or to include it in your vacation
plans.
