Sedona & Grand Canyon

Kristin and I arrived in Phoenix on Wednesday afternoon to begin our Sedona and Grand Canyon adventure. A quick dinner at In-n-out and we headed off to Sedona in our super sports car Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder rental. It was dark when we got to Sedona so we missed out on the nice views as we made our way to our lodgings. On Thursday we hiked in the Bell and Cathedral Rock area, got a huge late lunch, and explored around town. On Friday, we awoke to a serious rain and packed to check out. As we loaded the car, it started to hail. We bailed on our morning hike plans and ate a giant breakfast instead. On Friday afternoon, we went on a 3 hour jeep tour in chilly, windy, intermittent rain. The conditions were unexpected but it was still a lot of fun. We spent one more night in Sedona at a different hotel and then drove up to the Grand Canyon this morning. Arriving at the park around 1 pm, we walked the rim trail for a bit and then took the bus to Bright Angel Lodge for some lunch. Following lunch, we hiked down the Bright Angel Trail for a mile or so before heading back up and eventually to the car. Tomorrow, we’re going to spend most of the day in the park and hopefully hike farther into the canyon. Here are a couple pictures from the trip.
