Yes, the Grand Canyon is big and stunning. I really don't think there are words left to be said about it's beauty. There are plenty of words left about the insanity of people who arrive at the top of the canyon and say, "I wonder what's down there? Let's go check."It gets hotter the further you go down, and the climb back up is hard. And I didn't even go that far down.
I wasn't smart enough to take a mule ride either, I just took a picture of the people who were.
Yes, that's a picture of a squirrel right next to my foot. Next to people, there were an insane amount of squirrels on the trail, and they were not shy about getting in there and picking up any dropped food. They were also very well fed.
On a second note, I was very grateful for my hiking boots and very flummoxed by the people hiking in flip-flops, skirts, and other clothing meant more for sitting than walking down and then back up a rather steep climb.
Sunset at the Grand Canyon=totally beautiful and worth the walk back to the rim even though I was sore and tired. It was a great experience, and I'm even more sold on hiking than I was before.

Breathtaking photos!
How beautiful, I would love to go there someday! Oh, and don't touch the squirrels. Did you know that squirrels West of the Rockies are major carriers of the bubonic plague? No joke. Glad you had a nice hike!
No touching of the squirrels here! They were cute, but they got to be a little much after a while.
