Vacation Pictures: Grand Canyon (again)

This is the third time we've hiked into the Grand Canyon - and the second time Rim to Rim.

Here are some pictures:

The day before the hike

Dinner at the North Rim

The sun is coming up 

More sunshine on the way 

Sun is almost up 

You can't take a bad picture here 

Our waterfall lunch break 

It was so pretty 

The shadow picture 

The scenery - always beautiful 

Another view - around the bend

The steps for the first day of hiking 

The hike was hard, but we did it. And I feel accomplished.

Yesterday, I shared some pictures of the hike. Here are some more.

Still on the way down.

A tunnel 

It was nice inside

Dragging here, but so close to the ranch.

Finally!

Our cabin - after a nap and before dinner.

Vacation Photos: Grand Canyon

Last week, we took a hike in the Grand Canyon.

We had a cabin at the bottom, so we did an up and down hike. But before we started, we headed to a tulip farm - Wicked Tulips.

We had a lovely BBQ Lunch at Naked Q after we landed. Then drove out to the canyon.

The starting point 

At the top of the trail

The steps to Ooh Aah Point

And the view

Quick reading break

Just a few Switchbacks

It was Hot! And there was not a lot of shade...

More tomorrow, so come back.

Picture Book Wednesday: National Park Books

This series from Abdo Kids Jumbo is great. The photographs are amazing. Each book talks about echo systems, nature at the park, climate, and more. It gives just enough information to make the reader want to visit that park. 

In Maine, I've been here - to that exact spot on the cover. And it's fantastic. 

I would love to travel here.

Traveled to Zion a few years ago - really pretty!

Hiked rim to rim once a few years back and going again this year.

On my list of places to travel

Have you visited any of these parks?
