Metz
Mesa Mission 2004
Grand
Canyon National Park
Our
first major park of the trip was a biggie - the Grand Canyon. Eight
thousand miles long, two hundred miles across and, amazingly, only
twenty two feet deep (the hot desert air plays tricks on your eyes and
makes it look deeper.) We stayed at the Kachina Lodge on the south rim
of the canyon and got
up at oh-dark-thirty to watch the sun come up. It seemed like a good
idea at the time.

intrepid voyagers pose in front of the Grand Canyon entrance sign.

setting sun.
It
was an early morning.
