More of GCNP

Monday. We woke early this morning so that we could watch the sun rise over the Grand Canyon (5:10 am).  It was BEAUTIFUL!!

It was pretty chilly out this morning!  After eating, we loaded up and went to the north rim visitors center,  Stopping at all of the viewing spots along the way. On the way back we had lunch at the same little restaurant at Jacob lake. After lunch it was off to the south rim.  We got there early enough to get a spot at the Desert View campground in the NP. It amazes me that it is so cheap to stay here - only $6 a night with the senior pass, but no services. We dropped the trailer and then rode over to the main visitors center - checking out views along the way. We went to the market and got food to cook for dinner, enjoyed a delicious dinner at camp and then road the bikes over to the tower and lookout area. We climbed all of the stairs to the top of the tower, but didn't stay to watch the sunset. We took a nice warm shower and went to bed.
