Route 66 Day 13: Grand Canyon

When I told Liv to run out on that rock, so I could get a better photo, I was being sarcastic. But the girl loves a challenge. Next thing I know she was halfway out there. I could hear tourists murmuring about that crazy girl climbing on the rocks. I'm not sure if I was more impressed or nervous.

Our day started with a hike to Sunset Volcanic Crater and a visit to the ruins at Wupatki National Monument. Our visit to the Grand Canyon was cut short by an approaching blizzard. At the gate, we were told one to two feet of snow was on the way. We decided to get to lower elevation and warmer weather in Southern California.
