April 30, 2006 - Lake Powell, AZ - Grand Canyon, AZ

Today we took our time getting ready for our next destination into the Grand Canyon. On our way, we had a little bit of rain just outside of Page, AZ. Johnny and I were talking about how fortunate we have been during this trip as far as the weather. We arrived at the Desert View entrance of the Grand Canyon around 3:00pm. We are still 30 miles from where we are staying the next couple of days in the Grand Canyon. Since we are not coming back out the way we came in, we decided it would be best to stop at the vista points along the way. WOW!!!! This place has amazing breath taking views.

Our destination is the South Rim which is the most popular region of the canyon. The north rim seems to more isolated and harder for us to get to. We stayed at Trailer Village which is the only RV Park in the South Rim with full hookups.

Taylor at the Grand Canyon
We were some what surprised that we could not get cell phone service, but not surprised with no internet service. After we settled Taylor into his spot, we drove into town and saw the Grand Canyon movie presented in IMAX. This film is the most view IMAX film ever, and we can see why. Some of the scenes make you feel like you are flying though the canyon, it was really cool. This saved us a lot of money from having to take the helicopter trip through the Grand Canyon.
