Grand Canyon, Winslow AZ, Painted Desert & Petrified Forest

 

 

Yesterday we did the Grand Canyon. We hiked part of the South Rim. When you look out across the expanse you see what a mighty God we have.   While at the Grand Canyon we went to the El Tovar Hotel where Chuck & Gail spent their honeymoon 20 ? years ago.  Very neat place - we did a walk through and set out side and got something to drink & then headed to the RVs.  We also went to a place call Sycamore Canyon. It was said it was a really pretty view - But -  I have to say the canyon going up the Skyway to Paradise is much prettier BUT it was a lot of fun getting there - Chuck had to do a little 4 wheeling to get to the canyon.
This morning we headed out to The Painted Desert & The Petrified Forest. Before we got there we got to “stand on the corner in Winslow AZ - such a fine site to see.” This was a really cute town. it’s the old route 66. After we left Winslow we headed to The Painted Desert & Petrified Forest. This was an unbelievable place. Pictures don’t do it justice. Tonight we are staying in a little RV Park outside of Holbrook AZ. The couple who own the park are so nice - Martha & Alfredo. Tomorrow we start out for Albuquerque & Santa Fe N M. The weather has been wonderful. Chuck, Gail , Greg & I sat out tonight and had a wonderful dinner under the stars.
