December 11 and 12, 2012
Grand Canyon, AZ
Wow, words can't describe the beauty and massiveness of the Grand Canyon. I have traveled several times to Phoenix for work and have always wanted to take the four hour drive north to check out this wonder. It just so happened that my company had planned a meeting for December 13th, so Dr. Sam and I went to Phoenix a day early and traveled north. The timing of the entire trip couldn't have been better. Our plane landed early on Tuesday so we missed rush hour traffic. Most times there is already snow on the ground (yes, it snows in Northern Arizona), but like most of us they haven't seen snow yet. We arrived late on Tuesday to enjoy a dinner at El Tover Restaurant on the Grand Canyon grounds. The next morning I woke up to go get a jog in before heading to there, but was completely surprised to see we were there. I ran on the trails and watched the sun rise. Dr. Sam and I went to several looks out before heading back to town.
Flagstaff, AZ
We stopped for lunch in Flagstaff, AZ and walked around the downtown area. They had some cute stores. They also were counting down the days for the pine cone drop (New Year's Eve).
I'm so glad that I was able to take the opportunity to see such a great site! I would love to go again and do more trails! I better keep in shape!
