Grand Canyon!

After living in Arizona for over a year and a half I decided that it was about time to go to the Grand Canyon. Rach and I were supposed to go to Las Vegas with some friends for a long weekend, but that fell through. So of course it made sense to plan a trip to see one of the beautiful sights of AZ.
Rachel and I in the middle of our six mile hike. It was three miles down and three miles back up. I decided that hiking down a canyon was a great idea for me. Usually my problem with hiking is that I hike up and the hike down scares the living daylights out of me. Going down first is awesome. Except for that having to come back up part.
You could see the river from "Skeleton Point," the destination for our hike.

You know I have to pose.
The first night we were there we took our time and walked around the rim. There is a nice rim hike that you can go as far as you want, but it is not really a lot of up or down hiking. This is the spot where we decided to watch the sunset. Rachel caught this picture of me taking a picture, and I love it.

I saw this funky moss growing on some rocks.

The sunset was pretty.


They don't call it grand for nothin!
