Grand Canyon!!!

                                One of those places that is  hard to capture on camera. It's such an
                                immense landscape,beyond my imagination.
                                Colder than I thought it'd be too ,close to freezing during the night.
                                We spent 2 days and 1 night here , and did some shorter , but of
                                 course steep ,hikes.

                                                   A view from the rim . It's hard to get a view of the river ,
                                     but it's  somewhere down there , but much further away than
                                    we ever went , of course.  


A family photo , finally.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! squirrels!!! cute as they may seem, every day 20-30 hikers get bitten by squirrels by pretend- feeding them, and you can't blame the squirrels when the people are  like "come eat my fingers they taste like candy!".
The squirrels of the Grand Canyon are definitely the most common mammal you'll see there, some visitors might go to the Grand Canyon and the only wildlife they will see is squirrels so it would be nice to not get bitten by the only wildlife you see, am i right????
Luckily we got a nice glance of a condor  on our way out ,whom we named George Freddy JR.
And if you are really brave you might like a mule ride down the Grand Canyon ,which doesn't have any source of railing unless you're at the top. So going down on a mule might not be the most pleasant ride. Fascinatingly though ,no one has ever died in the Grand Canyon by the cause of mules, they are amazingly sure footed compared to the many humans who will fall of the trail every year.

POSTED AND EDITED AND MADE AWESOME BY LOKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A view from one of our hikes .

On our way up , and looking slightly tired ,I think .

After this hike we took off in our trailer again .

We went just a little bit south , to Flagstaff , so called because someone
hung the American flag off  a de-branched tree a long time ago.
