Blogs from Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, United States, North America - page 16

Hi Friends and Family, As promised - the long awaited extra blog about the sunset. It was such a delicious sight and absolutely amazing. We had been advised about the best points to be on in order to get the advantage and we weren't the only ones! Cars were zooming and screeching all over the "highway" and the whole international community seemd to be converging at the same place. At the same time! We were all so excited and there was a lot of scrambling and leaping and jumping over small "rocks" in order to get to just the right position as the sunset took place for only about 15 minutes before a blanket of darkness would descend all over the Canyon. The sunlight was blazing and twinkling all at the same time! What a view ... read more

Ich könnte so viel berichten, was wir in den nun ziemlich genau zwei Monaten, die wir in den Staaten verbringen, schon gesehen, gemacht, gehechelt, bejubelt haben. Doch suche ich noch nach ein bisschen Zeit, um das aufzuarbeiten. Um einen Anfang zu schaffen, berichte ich eben Aktuelles - und das war das Jogging (na, zumindest bin ich runtergejoggt) vom Grand Canyon / South Rim auf dem South Kaibab Trail zum Colorado. 13. Nov. 2010 - 8:00 Mountain Standard Time - Auf los geht's los! Es war noch ganz schön kalt, was heißen soll: geschätzte max. 5 Grad. In voller Montur mit Mütze und Handschuhen stiegen wir in den Trail ein. Ließ sich ganz gut an, man joggte gut ausgeruht relativ locker den stets abwärts gehenden Pfad. Bald wurde einem die Winterbekleidung zu viel und wir liefen kurzärmelig ... read more

Hi Everyone- As you know, Korina and I had to get out of Bryce Canyon earlier yesterday morning so that we could avoid the snowstorm that decided to descend upon our whole day of planned site seeing. What a bummer. BUT we got to the Grand Canyon at around 1:30 and the weather cleared up to bright sunny skies so we were SO happy! Honestly, people can tell you how vast and incredible the Grand Canyon is, and you may see pictures, but you will never understand how insane it is unless you see it in person! It is definitely a place I would love to come back to and visit again...in fact Korina and I wanted to possibly camp in one of the campgrounds but it gets way too cold this time of year at ... read more

Its been a while since I updated this travelblog because we've been on the move and not near an internet. We love Arches and Canyonland, it was a really unusual place with strange rock formations and sensational mind blowing scenery. Canyonlands just showed the enormity of nature. We had beautiful weather there, quite hot and we stayed at an RV park that had a swimming pool, so it was lovely to cool off at the end of the day after all this site seeing. We were so pleased we stayed to see Canyonlands because the scenery was so incredible. We drove through the northern part of the park called "Island in the Sky", because we were actually on a mesa. We seemed to be making good time in our trip, so we decided to travel to ... read more
