I (Janna) have hiked to the bottom of the Canyon twice staying at Phantom Ranch in the bottom. My Mom and my sister as well as friends did both hikes with me and those trips will always be cherished memories.Janna and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591282756244454689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557714217455633171.post-18395591073777160392011-03-29T18:48:57.355-05:002011-03-29T18:48:57.355-05:00Thanks for the great pictures...

My Daddy always planned to visit the Grand Canyon - he flew over it many times on business trips for the Army, but wanted to experience it fully because he thought it was one of the most amazing places on Earth. He traveled all over the world with his job, but never got to visit the GC. He planned to take "early out" at 59, buy an RV and travel "out west". He died of cancer 4 months before his 59th birthday... We never know how much time we have, so we should live every day to the fullest. I promised him before he died that I would do my best to make the trip for him...<br /><br />So glad that you guys are getting to enjoy your trip. Thanks for another great post!<br /><br />Stay safe...<br /><br />Kerri in AL :-)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098792570407360089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557714217455633171.post-20236653239802551222011-03-29T18:01:37.688-05:002011-03-29T18:01:37.688-05:00Just want to say that yer blog post fer today were...Just want to say that yer blog post fer today were one of the best travel blog posts I.M. has ever read.

My dad, brother and I were on a motorcycle touring trip. We got a kick out of buses that would pull up, people would get off for a while and then hop right back on the buses, they couldn't process the magnitude and beauty that they were seeing.<br /><br />In 2005 I took another trip with Marti, we rode the Grand Canyon Train up. I couldn't beleive how much the canyon had changed...it was a whole milimeter deeper! :c)Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557714217455633171.post-90480624610850763762011-03-29T16:02:23.181-05:002011-03-29T16:02:23.181-05:00Know what you mean by not being able to describe w...Know what you mean by not being able to describe what you are seeing. Pretty well sums up the whole American Southwest. I have stood on both the south & north rims of the Grand Canyon & had the same awe inspiring thoughts & feelings you did. Can't capture it with photos.

They look beautiful and all but just can't show the immense size or depth of it. This will forever be a great memory for you as it has been with us.<br /><br />Kevin and Ruth<br /><a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com</a>Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557714217455633171.post-70831868107340359772011-03-29T13:46:24.777-05:002011-03-29T13:46:24.777-05:00As usual a fantastic blog.

Years ago when you could take a helo flight into the canyon, it was definately an awsome experience. While you are in the area you must take the Tracker and make a trip to Jerome. Well worth the trip to see the old mining town. Thanks for sharing your vacation and for being such an outstanding blogger.<br />Butch PelfreyButchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739984875587187762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557714217455633171.post-65788498575776030282011-03-29T13:31:30.536-05:002011-03-29T13:31:30.536-05:00Great shots of the Canyon, when we were there we t...Great shots of the Canyon, when we were there we took the steam train from Williams and then road the shuttles all day. You missed a great lunch if you didn't eat at the Fred Harvey House at the Grand Canyon Station at the south Rim. Looks like you had a long day though, enjoy those steaks today. Be safe out there.
