After driving through Sedona we continued on to our final destination. It was definitely a long journey but we had plenty of activities to keep the kiddos entertained. It was late afternoon when we finally got to our campsite and after reading the maps and papers they gave us when we checked in, we decided go see the sunset at the canyon. We set our stuff up quickly and rushed over to catch our first glimpse. On our way there we saw three giant elks hanging out near the road. That was really cool to see! When we arrived at the canyon, it was amazing! While we were waiting for the sun to set it started to rain- we weren’t ready for that! So I ran back to the car to get jackets and umbrellas. By the time I got back the rain was over. Sounds like what would happen where we live! The kids were pretty impressed with how big the canyon was. Grandma was not impressed with how close the children were getting to the railing though! It was a good sneak preview to the hiking and sightseeing that would occur the next day.
