Day 9: Grand Canyon

We finally made it to the Grand Canyon! I was really impressed with the free shuttle system they had working which enabled us to see everything on the South Rim without having a car.

We decided to go ahead and spend the night here so we could take it all in. The kids participated in the Junior Ranger program, listened to Ranger Tara talk about the benefits of natural forest fires (natural = caused by lightning or volcano). We took a great bike ride & had some dinner at camp. A nice day with very little driving.
