Grand Canyon

Leaving Zion Canyon via the way we came in, we headed further down the grand stair case. We passing through the desert below the Vermilion Cliffs with little vegetation and parts with none at all. It is surprising the Navajo Indians are still living there and selling their jewelry etc on the side of the highway.
Before crossing the Colorado River we passed some balancing rocks. In the 1930’s someone choose to build structures in and under them which still stand today.
With a stop to see the Colorado River we walked out over the pedestrian bridge to see the river which created the Grand Canyon.
Entering the Grand Canyon National Park from the east we looked down into the numerous side canyons that lead into the main central canyon from along the South Rim.
After checking into the motel we headed to the west along the canyon rim and stopped to see the sun set before returning to the town ship south of the park for dinner and a night’s sleep.
