Our Grand Canyon West Adventure


Our Grand Canyon West adventure began with a visit to the new Skywalk - it was so awesome! 4,000 feet high and the bottom is made of glass! You can't even get a grasp of how high you are or how small you are in comparison to the Canyon - big trees below look like little shrubs.














Next we visited Guano Point - another amazing view!












Then we went out to the Hualapai Ranch, where we got to spend the night in a little cabin that looked right out to the Canyon - there were cowboys and wagon rides, campfires and horseback riding...there was even an old jail - of course we locked up the children right away.



























One thing I forgot to mention about this adventure (BTW, no one mentioned it to us before we went!) You have to drive 21 miles on a dirt road to get there! Going in wasn't so bad, but we actually got stuck at the ranch because of a flash flood that washed out the road! After waiting a couple hours, we were able to get out (barely!)
