We cleaned the RV, did laundry, and stopped for groceries before heading up to the Grand Canyon – an easy 45 minute drive. We arrived around 1pm, checked in and found our site – a great spot that is a pull through with a nice, deep site with enough room for Lin and Ben to add their tent if they wanted. We set up camp, and sat in the shade and read waiting for Lin and Ben. They arrived around 3:30 and they decided to keep their spot on the other side of the campground. We sat and talked and checked out some of the Grand Canyon literature and decided to start with the visitor center. We talked to a ranger about a hike inside the canyon and we decided to do the 2 mile roundtrip down the South Kaibab trail to a wide open vista. Forecast is in the high 80s, so we decided to do the hike the next morning before it gets hot.
We stopped at the Mather Point vista and took a lot of photographs. The crowds are huge – we’ve never been to Grand Canyon when it was this busy. All campgrounds are full and the areas of the park that we are allowed to drive are really busy and parking spots are difficult to find at the viewpoints.
We returned to the RV, made a nice dinner and relaxed – we are all very tired.
