Day at the Canyon

We headed up to the Grand Canyon for the day even though we knew it was going to be super windy. And windy it was. It started snowing about the time we go to the Visitors Center on the North Rim but decided to take a 1.5 mile hike along a path that headed the opposite direction of most people. The Ranger that pointed us in that direction said it was a great place to go for outstanding views without all the people.

There were some beautiful views but one of the most amazing sights was the clouds in the Canyon. They made alot of the canyon too cloudy/stormy to see but the fact the clouds were just hanging out at a lower elevation than where we were standing was pretty sweet. After our hike we headed to the East, out of the park, on the Desert View Drive. Light snow was coming down as we navigated the twists and turns of the beautiful drive.


We took hwy 89 down to Flagstaff toward our sushi dinner at Karma just off of Route 66. Delicious fresh rolls, edamame, miso soup, and an amazing dessert- lava cake- filled our bellies. The restaurant had great atmosphere and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Tomorrow we hope to explore downtown Flagstaff and later head down the Oak Creek Canyon drive (89A) to explore more of Sedona, Cottonwood, and maybe Prescott.
