Big Hole in the Ground

Called 'The Grand Canyon'.

Ed's back has been doing much better so we decided to make the drive today. From where we are staying in Williams, it was about 55 miles. It was an easy drive. Since we have a Golden Age Pass it didn't cost us anything to get into the park. (I think it was $25.00 a car)



We took a lot of pictures but the camera doesn't even come close to showing you the vastness of this canyon. It is huge!!



We started from the Park Headquarters and walked the rim trail about 2 miles. It was a beautiful day, but we did have to stop several times. The elevation at the south rim is 7500 feet. Even here in Williams the elevation is close to that. Ed and I both have had some problems with shortness of breath even doing the simplest things.
We are even higher than Denver!!



But we had a great time and are very glad that we came by here.
