Plateau Point
In the distance you can see Plateau Point from the Bright Angel Trail. I’m posting from there right now.
Good Morning
Just getting started here at the Grand Canyon Resort Hotel. I woke up at 5 am. Now waiting for Cathy and Martin to show up for breakfast while I’m in the lobby writing. Yesterday’s trip was great. We caught a view of a few more “Vegas” items, like the old “Welcome to ..” sign shown here. And there were the Krispy Creme donuts that we HAD to consume. They melt in your mouth like butter! The drive took about 6 hours. It’s usually about 5 hours or so to the Grand Canyon, but the traffic in Boulder City backs up for a long stretch.
You can see more of the pictures from our trip through the menu link “More Trip Photos” above.
We’ll head out soon to the various canyon views. Martin and I will hike down some of the Bright Angel Trail, though I don’t know how far we will go. It takes twice as long to come up, so you have go be careful about the time spent going down. Also they are predicting high winds today as a front is coming through. Could have some thunder showers in the afternoon as well, so I don’t want to be out in those while on the trail.
More later!
In-N-Out!
Now my most favorite eatery on the road in the west. — In-N-out burger. Seriously, I can’t figure why franchises like this don’t make their way East. They would clean up! Quality of the food is great. Simple too. No over marketing like the the big M.
