This morning we woke up after a great sleep, and headed done for breakfast, which we'd promptly missed. So we checked out, and headed out for the Grand Canyon. As previously mentioned, we were suprised that the national park enterance was only 1 mile from the hotel we stayed.

Now, everyone excepts to be impressed by the Grand Canyon, but you really need to see it, to full experience it, Driving through the brush of the national forest, all of a sudden there is a glimpse of the canyon, which is breath taking. One thing I noticed very early on is how well the park is preserved. Trees have not been cleared to make the canyon veiwable, and driving through there are long streaches where you can't see the canyon for the trees. I thought it was cool that it'd been preserved as a national park, rather than made into a tourist attraction.

We got out and walked some of the sections, and drove others. Throughout the day we travelled the full length of the south rim. Amazing views. Just check the photos.

Towards the end of the afternoon we made it to the end (or start) of the south rim, where we brought some souvineers, and then decided it was time we'd better make our way out to Cathedral City, California. Initially we'd planned just to travel through Catherdral City, but with out plans being messed up by the clothes debarkle, we decided we'd head for it and stay there.
