Today we took the bus to the Western end of the Grand Canyon stopping at most points along the way. We hiked the first hour then jumped on the shuttles going from one view point to the next. We planned on hiking more of the way but it was a lot more than we were ready for. We need to come back!









The river is down there just left of center. It's hard to imagine that little ribbon of water is the principal cause of what we see now.

I zoomed in for this one, we could barely see the water from the rim. The "ripples" are a rapid. Looks like nothing from the picture, but having been down through there 3 times I can assure you those "ripples" are about 6 feet high.
