We had a great day. We took Jr & Luanne to see the Grand Canyon. We all enjoyed the day. Bob & I have been to the Grand Canyon three times and it never gets old to see this awesome site.

As we were heading out of the Grand Canyon National Park there were vehicles parked along the road. We drove up there and pulled off too. To our surprise we were seeing a herd of Elk. What a great site. There was probably 12-15 Elk in the group. After leaving the National Park we seen about 8-10 antelope along the road. It is a long drive to Grand Canyon from Bullhead City, but well worth the trip. It is a 3.5 hr trip to drive there. Adding the wildlife sightings along with the canyon it was great.

Here we are at Grand Canyon. Do we look cold. We were cold, I guess we aren't use to the cold weather anymore. The temperature was around 46 degrees, sun really nice, but the wind made it feel colder than 46.

Jr & Luanne at the Grand Canyon.

This is a camping area at the bottom of the canyon. No thank you. Don't want to hike the canyon, or with a mule, or camp there either.

This is just one of the many shots of the Grand Canyon. The camera shots don't do justice of the canyon.

Bob zoomed in on the Colorado River. On the south rim of the canyon we are at 7100 ft. The Colorado River is approx 5000 ft below where we are and three miles out into the canyon. Great Zoom!!!
