Full day at the Canyon. Set off early for yet another sunrise, it was a bloody one however. Reading through my notes I see how often we got up at 5/6 in the morning and how little I seemed to care - its al worth it if you get to do things like this. Afterwards we went for our epic hike into the canyon. The four of us bravely hit the Bright Angel trail down to the first rest stop - then went back up again. The heat in there is amazing. Apparently its 30 degrees hotter at the bottom of the canyon than the top, we barely went in but on the way back up we were definitely feeling it. 1.5 miles of slog coming back up.
Afterwards we thought we'd check out the Visitor Centre, because apparently it was full of stuff. Seriously, I think the leader was making stuff up as we went along. The place was empty. Definitely not worth the slog up.
In the afternoon we went for a helicopter flight over the canyon, that was the quickest 50 minutes of my life. Absolutely amazing, its going to take a lot to beat that in the future.
Had some good nights camping, doing marshmallows around the fire. Good times baby.
On the way out to Vegas stopped off at Seligman, Arizona. Route 66 in a town. Loads of weird cars with faces and shops selling crap with 66 on it. Went in the shop of Angel Delgadillo (this bloke) and generally had a good time!
