Southwest Trip Day 5 - Grand Canyon

We spent Day 5 in the Grand Canyon.  We went for a morning hike on the Kaibab Trail.  Jenn's goal was to make it to the Coconino Overlook but it became quickly apparent that while the kids would probably make it there okay, the return trip (uphill) would not be pretty.  


Brack and the kids turned around and Jenn forged ahead and made it to the overlook.



The kids managed to get completely filthy on the hike.  When Jenn caught back up to them, Will was pouring handfuls of dirt on his head.  They enjoyed the water filling station at the end of the hike.


You can kind of see how dirty he is here:


In the evening, we went out to enjoy a last view of the canyon:


We went to the Lodge's cookout experience for dinner.  We took a little train out to the woods where dinner and a show were set up.  The kids had a ball!




Here is a picture of the bison that have recently made their home in the canyon:
