Arizona Day 3




Today, we went to Grand Canyon. We couldn't wake up as early as we anticipate because I slept late due to spending too much time blogging :-p

Anyway, the day is a bit cloudy but mostly sunny. It's still cold. As we were driving on the curly road up to Grand Canyon (the elevation is approximately 7000 feet), we can see from the car temperature display, it just keep dropping to about 20 Fahrenheit (-6 Celcius). Sedona was about 34 Fahrenheit (1 Celcius) in the morning. The bottle of water that we put in the car overnight all frozen.

The first half of the drive was very windy road, as shown in this pic above.


The second half was mostly straight hwy (kinda boring) but going all the way up. One of the sign we saw in the scenic/view area.

As usual, we took a lot of pictures. The Grand Canyon is way bigger than Crater Lake. We just went to the South Rim since the North rim is closed during winter .

Along the way, the snow still everywhere. However, we couldn't see a single snow in the canyon. Here is one of the pic of Grand Canyon from the Dessert View area.


Below is another picture taken from Grandview area. The cloud was actually make the pic looks better.


And guess who park in front of us?
