I expected this to be the highlight of our trip. We stayed at Canyon motel and rv Park, Williams AZ . This town is the gait to the Grand Canyon. It is a one hour drive to the Canyon. We drove up in the morning, stopping at a couple tourist stores so I could shop for my postcards. We arrived at the park. We paid for our one week pass. We went in and took a right to the trail we would hike, the South Kaibab trail. We headed to the trail. I forgot my cell phone in the bathroom. Darn, I had to run back and luckily it was still there. We headed down the trail. Boy this was easy. It was bright red dirt and had many switch backs. It was pretty busy. Especially since it is off season. There was a steady stream of people hiking. Too many people. There are no trees and no privacy. We continued down the trail reaching ooh aah point I decided we would go further in so as to get away from the people. We continued to the next stop, Cedar Ridge . This is where the mules are that some people pay to ride. There is no water available here. There are bathrooms. We ate our picnic lunch overlooking the Canyon. Then we headed up. Uggh! We are so out of shape. But, we did it!! Yeah!!! We had no choice once we were in. The weather couldn't have been better. Partly cloudy and 70 degrees. It felt great!
