Grand Canyon Part Two

Here is the second installment of our amazing Grand Canyon trip. If you missed the first post, check it out here!

Our second day at the Grand Canyon started with a sunrise-ish hike down Kaibab Trail. It is one mile down and one mile back up! Phew! I am glad we went early in the morning, it was hot by 7:30 am. Enjoy our adventure!



My camera skills were bit shaky on the trail!

Views from about 1/2 mile down into the Grand Canyon

The sunrise was amazing!


It was a tough haul back up!

This wasn't our only summer trip- we also visited Hilton Head Island, SC and Savannah, GA. More updates to come!

Adventure to The Grand Canyon: Part One

I am so lucky to have taken three amazing trips so far this summer. This June, my husband and I went to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon (I also went to Hilton Head and Savannah... posts coming!) It was absolutely breath taking! We had a wonderful time and were so lucky to stay in a lodge inside the national park which allowed for prime sunrise and sunset hikes right outside our room. I hope you enjoy a glimpse into our adventure below. Today's post covers our stop at the Hoover Dam and first sunset hike along the rim to Bright Angel Point.
At the Hoover Dam, it was about 110 out!

We spotted two huge elks along our hike.


The views were AMAZING!


Sunset on the rim.

A glimpse of heaven.

I couldn't image a better hiking partner to be by my side!l

Enjoy and be stay inspired! Part II coming soon!
