July 4th, 2010

Hey everyone! Our 4th of july was spent at the grand canyon! Although we were a little dissapointed that we couldn't see fireworks there for safety reasons, it was still awesome! We arrived there from Durango at about 7 pm Arizona time, and werre able to catch the last sights of the sunset over the grand canyon from some of the lookout sights. The next day we hiked about three miles along the canyon, stopping at some points were there was a great view! In addition, later that night, we went to Imperial Point, the highest lookout point at the grand canyon, 8,803 feet above sea level! We also went to Cape Royal to watch the sunset and see the colrado river, or the very bottom of the grand canyon. So, even though there were no fireworks, it was still one of the best 4th of July weekends i've ever had!
