I always wanted to take Don to the Grand Canyon as I have wonderful memories of an old family rafting trip on the Colorado through the Canyon. It did not disappoint. I feared too many people and although there were many (few spoke English!), the GC staff have an incredibly organized system with busses and lots of facilities. We went to the north rim for a few hours from Kanab, then the next day drove a long distance to the south rim. We walked much of the rim trail, had drinks at the hotel El Tovar, and then the next day hiked down into the Bright Angel trail. In the evening and early am we were greeted by Elk at our campsite.
We are now in Yuma, Arizona, the last stop before San Diego, when we finally see the girls. I have to be truthful to say that this will be my last trip to Yuma...it is so hot, over 100 degrees and they say that is mild for this time of year. It is so ugly..loaded with "over 55" RV campgrounds and not much else.
But we had to go this route due to a bridge washout on rt.10. It will all be worth it though....
