It is GRAND. I can’t say more than that. It is the most visually stunning sight I’ve ever seen in my life. I have to come back again when Allyn is old enough to do the mule rides. It is vast, massive, and beautiful. We were able to spend our entire Saturday walking along the rim trails. The girls became Junior Rangers after listening to a Fossil Talk and Condor Talk. Yes, we did see condors too! Daryn even got an extra special badge by completing worksheets about workers during the Great Depression, many of whom made many of the trails we use today. 
Then the girls heard another ranger talk about water conservation and the history of the Colorado River. This has been a rewarding and economical trip because of the free shuttles, free ranger programs, and free trails that can take you to all these beautiful locations! Fab, and we’ll be back again!

Dad Nerd said that he also stood on that same rock, with his dad when he was a kid. His dad had “a vice grip on my hand” as they stood there getting their picture taken by his mom.
Mom Nerd can not get that close to the edge without the security of the hand railings that exist here and there. It is truely an awesome place.
Glad you all are having fun…but when are you coming hooommmeeee????
