Once I read a phrase that made me think. The phrase was saying something like "The National Parks are the best American invention". I really think that is so true! So, for a strange coincidence today, 4th of July, here we are in the most visited National Park. Grand Canyon NP. After 8 hours drive from LA we got here at 5.30AM. Just few minutes after the sunrise. A wonderful fresh air and a surreal silence and a couple of photographers trying to capture the first light of the day were there with us ...
... after a while also a condor came up from the canyon. They are of course protected. And apparently numbered as well. This is the number 89, you should be able to read the number under his wing if you open the picture ...
We went up and down the South Rim, trying to enjoy the beauty of the canyon, taking picture here and there ...
And these are partial views of the Colorado river, down there at the bottom of the canyon ...
... this is the Bright Angel trailhead, where people is renting a mule ride down the canyon ...
... and the more the time was passing more we missed the fresh air, the silence and the few photographers of the early moments we spent there ...
... this is the way we wanted to start our trip, but definitely there was too many people here for us. And in order to really enjoy the Grand Canyon, you really need to hike it all the way down to the river. We really want to do it, but I think we will come here in November. Or at least we hope so.
