SUNDAY 2ND - GRAND CANYON - THE GRAND FINALE

This morning was spent uneventfully driving the approximate 300 miles from Moab to Tusayan, being the commercial centre just outside the Grand Canyon National Park where we are staying in the grandly named Grand Canyon Camper Village. Along the way this morning, we once again experienced a variety of scenery, the highlight of which was Monument Valley near which the above photo was taken.

This is very much the tourism hotspot with helicopters operating non stop. We tried to stay in the National Park Campground but it was full.

We approached from the west which meant that we got to experience a number of scenic overlooks before getting to the village itself. We have worked out the shuttle bus system and will give the rim a more comprehensive going over tomorrow.

Unfortunately a storm was threatening when I was taking the photos so they are very hazy. Hopefully I will do better tomorrow.
