The Grand Canyon is simply just grand.  Its huge.  And colorful, intricate, deep, long, and just amazing.  It all formed from millions of years of erosion from the Colorado River and its tributaries, but its hard to believe how the river was able to carve such a massive and diverse canyon.  After getting to Grand Canyon Village, we got a big lunch and were ready to explore the canyon further.  We walked over to the Hermits Rest shuttle stop which allowed us to get many views along the South Rim.  We took a few mile long walks around the rim trail and managed to see all of the viewpoints.  The Colorado river was raging and we saw the supposed Grade VIII rapids, which, compared to the Grade IV that we experienced in Vancouver, seemed pretty scary to us. 

When we got to Hermits Rest, we relaxed a bit in the lodge which had a welcoming feeling and huge fireplace.  We made our way back to the village and waited a while for the sunset to come, but it was unfortunately covered by approaching clouds.  So, we drove to Williams, Arizona, where we spent the night.  See you tomorrow in Sedona and Phoenix for the Diamondbacks game!
