Day 5: Grand Canyon & NV

Yesterday morning we were greeted with a nice dusting of snow. The roads were a sheet of ice and it was freezing.

We didn’t have much time in the Grand Canyon so we stopped at as many lookouts as we could to get different views. The dense clouds made the bluish/purple tones of the Canyon more visible. This was my first time to the Grand Canyon. It was definitely neat to see the Grand Canyon with snow covering the rim. I was surprised to not see much snow down in the Canyon. It seems like it would be even colder down in the Canyon but researching online it is quite the opposite. (The things you can learn with the internet. ) Next time I would love to spend more time to explore the Canyon up close – camping, rafting, hiking. Can’t wait for that trip!

Back on the Road

We ended our day early in Las Vegas to meet up with Fred and Erin. (Click here to see the post about their wedding.) It was nice to just hang out and catch up. One more day of driving left!
