Road Trip, Part 2, Day 2 - GCNP Grand Tour PIX!

Sorry Gang! I finally got these to upload after a couple nights of slow internet connection and I uploaded in opposite order! So, view from the bottom up if you want to see in chronological order!!!



People get crazy close to the edge - even daggling their feet over the edge after scrabbling down cliffs!!! Not me.













The Rim Trail


Along the Rim Trail




A sunken steam boat?








Yup he did. I owe him dinner.

Oh, no, he DIDN'T!

Here he goes....

Will he or won't he? 47 degrees.



Our raft

Picnic lunch on the beach




Circle of Life petroglyph



Petroglyphs

Another Wolf - howling at the moon



Pac-Man's Ghost







That not water leaking, its some sort of chemical reaction with the rock. Looks like tar.

The Aussies and our Guide, Cheyenne, a full-blooded Navajo and out on her 5th tour of the river.




Dave in his hard hat

End of the Two Mile Tunnel






Dave and Henry, our Guide, telling us how the Canyon FLOODS and has killed people. Thanks for that.




Thank God we reach the outside! Oh, no - we have to go back the same way we came in!!!!!!!!!!



The Wolf - how cool is that?



A-ha! I finally get my turn with our guide to get a couple good photos!












Me trying not to have a panic attack. Many, many photos that are not any good...







The race against the Japanese!

Our cute pilot in the distance


























Mayday, Mayday!
