Grand Canyon and New Mexico

---

Today we got bagels in Sedona and headed to the Grand Canyon. There aren't really words to describe how beautiful it was...only pictures can begin to describe it. We couldn't believe how large it was, and how it seemed to come out of nowhere. Since we were coming from the South, we were driving through valleys for awhile, wondering how a giant canyon was going to magically appear. We entered the park and still nothing. Finally, we caught a glimpse of it on our right and couldn't believe it! We stopped at three different views, where at one view, we could see the beautiful bright green Colorado River.

After that, we headed to New Mexico. Lots of driving, and lots of fog, and when 10:30 hit, we decided we were done and stopped off in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which also seemed to come out of nowhere. There were so many mountains, trees, mountains, trees, fog, mountains, trees, fog and all of a sudden we came over a hill and saw tons of lights. It felt so late at that point we were so excited to find a hotel and call it a day.

Tomorrow we continue our route to Austin, Texas, probably ending the day two hours out of Austin. The next day, we'll head to Austin and spend the day and evening there.

Snow!
Beautiful photos of the snow at the Grand Canyon, thanks for sharing. If you want to have dinner at a movie theater in Austin, try an Alamo Drafthouse - they serve your food while you watch the show!

Beef jerky shot of Andrew plus the surfboard=classic! I love the big GC and so glad you two enjoyed it too. I've never seen it with snow though. Austin is a lot of fun-looking forward to the recap ;)
