Thanks to the kids for tolerating daddy’s trip to the Grand Canyon 😉 This was a childhood dream of mine. When I was younger and we were also driving cross country with Tim, Eva, uncle John, uncle Greg and Daddy we stopped here and I was amazed at a river rafter photo through the Grand Canyon at the tourist center. I asked if we could go on the river rafting trip and they told me it was booked up for two years already. So 30 or so years later I finally was able to ride down the Grand Canyon. Instead of just seeing it from the edge like I did. The kids were able to see it from the river. Probably the best way to view it. BTW it doesn’t seem that big from the river view?
Along the River we stopped at a waterfall where we climbed up steep ladders, got wet and played around a little bit and swam in the pool at the bottom of the falls.
At one point we were able to put on our life vests and jump in and float down the river for about a half a mile or so. That was probably my highlight.
We rode all the way to the end of the Canyons. Huge cliffs, then you come out of the last bend and bam! Flat desert.
