Stardate 020071104: Grand Canyon

Weekend trip to Grand Canyon.. 12 hours of driving one way, but all worth it! Standing on the edge of the canyon seems like being next to a painting, not really being there but seeing it as a film. We were 12 people, mostly Spanish, me and Saara, one guy from Japan and two Germans. I really enjoyed the trip but let's just say that sometimes the Spanish can be too much. Also my idea of a trip is to get everything out of it, meaning not spending my time on "nonsense"... like having luch in a parking lot for two hours :P Nevertheless, I really enjoyed my time there!!

We saw the sunset, the sunrise, went hiking a bit down the canyon.. It's truely an amazing place! To see the sunrise we woke up about 5 and drove to the park from the motel further away. We weren't staying in the park, instead about 50 miles from it.


The national park itself is really full of tourists.. you can't reeally enjoy the peace or the view of the canyon by yourself because you have to struggle to take a picture without any people in it :P The best time to go hiking is early in the morning because then there aren't so many people around, only some crazy ones.

Here are some pictures:
