Grand Canyon (Thursday)

Grand Canyon Day 1 was rainy!  It was incredibly cloudy over the canyon.  I came to the Grand Canyon last August with my soccer team, and it looked very different because of the clouds and rain over the canyon.  We stopped at a couple of lookouts before proceeding to our campground.  First, we stopped at the Watchtower.  The tower was built in 1932 and had some neat Indian artwork along the walls within.  The tower had quite a few levels!

After setting up our camper, we actually headed back into the National Park to check out a couple more lookouts.  We stopped at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center and Grand Canyon Village before calling it a day.

Look at that rain coming in!


It was beautiful!


Had to get a picture here because we took pictures here last time with my soccer team


I love the pictures with the Colorado River in the canyon
