Grand Canyon Lodge

We arrived at the Grand Canyon late on the 29th. We were all maxed out on traveling, hungry, and cold! All of the campgrounds were full. Tres insited on checking in at the lodge for a vacancy. Yet most people make a reservation several months in advanced, there was a cancellation and Tres reserved it for us. Although it was clearly out of our budget, he justified this was a chance in a life time. So we decided to stay. After checking into our cabin, we took a short hike to a view point that was amazing. The Grand Canyon is just what is says it is quite grand and a canyon that goes on and on. The colors were amazing as well as the layers of the different types of rock. The lodge was also quite a sight too, built in 1929 most of it is still original. I could sit on the sun porch of the lodge and just watch the view of the canyon all day, it is that magnificent. We woke the next morning and took a quiet hike to Bright Angel Point. While we there the sun was rising and changing the coloring of the canyon by the minute. Most of our pics are from Bright Angel. We have no regrets for staying at the lodge, it was meant to be. A beautiful place to wake and start our day of traveling south in Arizona.
