Arizona/Montezuma's Castle/Grand Canyon



On Wednesday, I hopped a flight to Arizona! 

Thursday morning, I woke up, and got to have breakfast from the back yard. The grapefruit tree was just asking to be picked. I had a nice coffee and grapefruit before making out way up to the grand canyon. |Buddha was ready for me waiting outside of my Uncle's house in Chandler, AZ. |





We started our drive up to the Grand Canyon and stopped by Montezuma's Castle. It is an ancient indian habitat built into the rocks near a river.  Here are some photo joiners of Montezuma's Castle in the background.



We saw a nice little tarantula hiding in the wall just waiting to feed on an innocent little child that isn't paying attention. mmmm, children. 


The dwelling in the rocks. 

These were the most beautiful trees ever.

We drove up through a little town called Sedona, where we walked around through some of the shops and shared a drink on the balcony with a nice view of the mountains. 






We decided to take a little hike in preparation for our Grand Canyon adventure the next day. 


Church on the rocks. It was awesome.

On Friday morning we hiked down into the Grand Canyon. It was a 6 mile hike down to the plateau point, and then obviously a 6 mile hike back. We hiked down the Bright Angel Trial. It is one of the most popular trials but definitely a tough one. 

The trial off to the right. 







Out on the plateau looking back from where I came. I started at the ridge of this canyon.

A spectacular view from the end of the plateau.



Looking over the edge of the plateau, was the Colorado River.

|And made a friend. |
