Squeak 17 #1 January 28, 2009 We stayed in Sedona nice place, awesome colours and natural beauty but there's a load of loops there Went to the GRAND CANYON today, from the Bright Angel trail section around to the Desert View Lookout and on to the Painted Desert, to stay the night at Kanab in Utah. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE GRAND CANYON PUT IT ON YOUR BUCKET LIST It is by far one of the most awe inspiring places i have ever been, and fortunately in the winter there were very few other people Snow on the ground, very cold (Sub zero degrees C) crystal clear skies awesome views, far better then i ever expected Zion national park tomorrowYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcandalysse 0 #2 January 28, 2009 not sure what your travel itinerary is, but north of Zion, MOAB is well worth checking out. "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,123 #6 January 28, 2009 Glad you enjoyed it. And nice to meetcha. There's a lot to see; sometimes it seems a shame that there just isn't time to see all of it. Enjoy the rest of your stay, and on to Mexico. You doing the Copper Canyon train ride? Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, I think it's the one I was on when I was about 12 or so. Fun times.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,123 #8 January 28, 2009 Nope, Mexico. It's been described as the most dramatic train ride in the Western Hemisphere. Dunno if that's true, but the folks I Know who've been on it thought it was pretty impressive. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

Nightingale 0 #11 January 28, 2009 Zion is wonderful! If you have a chance, stop by Bryce Canyon, which is not too far away and worth seeing as well. The Grand Canyon is so beautiful. It's amazing how cloze Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon are, yet they're so different, and Death Valley National Park is not that far away, and in some areas of that park, it's almost as if you're on another planet... you go from mountain peaks and wildflowers to sand dunes and salt formations and areas that look like rivers made from salt crystal.
