Final Entry from Grand Canyon

Our Last Hike

Tomorrow we’re outta here. Heading West for California and $4/gallon gas.

 

LAST HIKE

Our goal was Yaki Point, but most of the route would be sharing with bicyclists so we decided to stop at the canyon rim.

 

 

So Many Choices

 

Beautiful from Any/Every Angle

 

THE ELK

They arrive in the morning and later at dusk. They are prolific poopers. From what we saw, no one bothered them while they munched grass all day. When she first saw an Elk, Flirt was spooked, but I think she finally thought of them as just big, different-smelling dogs.
