Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

My grandparents took me to the Grand Canyon National Park when I was little. I vaguely remember it. My husband has also been to the Grand Canyon before as a kid. It’s funny how we remember it be much bigger, but I guess everything looks bigger when you are a kid.

When we visited, there were wildfires in the area, so it created a haze throughout the park. It was still gorgeous though. We drove the entire length of the south rim. I really wish we could have camped out for a couple of days and hiked down to the river, however we decided that we really needed more than a couple of days and to come back at a later date to camp out for a week.

For those that haven’t visited, the canyon is 277 river miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and a mile  deep.

The selfie stick definitely came in useful on our road trip!
