To Hike or Sit by the Pond?: July 2012

The Grand Canyon Caverns, Arizona, USA. July 12 1012

The Grand Canyon Caverns. The grand Canyon area has weather
that can go from a heat wave to flash floods so it would be a
good idea to bring a light weight jacket with a hood.

The Grand Canyon Caverns are located a little ways away
from the Grand Canyon on the South Rim. This is not connected
to the Grand Canyon Park.

We are waiting for the elevator to take us back up to ground level.

You can rent the room out for the night in the caverns. Looks
like fun.

On the way to the South Rim Grand Canyon Park, there are lots
of look out points that are ran by different Native Americans tribes..
At these look out points they ask for a donation to see the view. Some of
these look out places sale jewelry and other Native American
things.

not as busy as the South Rim. The views are spectacular and
