We are driving the RV to Alaska. See 2019 RV Trip—Alaska. In the last post, part 1, I talked about starting in Marathon, FL, driving our car to North Carolina, and driving the RV to Mesa, AZ. This post talks about our visit to the Grand Canyon.

The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon had been on our bucket list for a while. It started off as a joke because we met someone who said that going to the Grand Canyon was one of her top three goals in life. We didn’t understand what was stopping her—I think it is a place that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime.

We spend days 25 to 30 in the Grand Canyon. We are at Grand Canyon Trailer Village RV park, which has full hook-ups. We reserved this spot months earlier, when we thought James was going to be with us. Being inside the park, we have lots of options for getting around. We can drive our car, walk, or take a free shuttle bus. We do all three. There are some places the buses don’t go, so we can drive and sometimes the lines for the bus are long, so we walk. Our main goal is to hike.

Our first morning, we walk to the visitors center and try to make a plan. At first it is confusing, with different colored bus routes, but we quickly figure it out. What works for us is to ride the shuttle bus somewhere, and then walk for a while, and then ride for a while, and repeat. We cover a lot of ground this way.

Another thing we figure out is that it is cold in the morning, and hot in the afternoon. We learn how to layer. We also learn that we need to pack plenty of food and water. The water part can be tricky. Too much water is hard to carry, but not enough and we get dehydrated—it can be hot and dry here. There are some places where we can fill our water bottles, but we can’t count on it.

One sign we see in several places says “Going down is optional. Going up is a requirement”. We try not to overdo it, especially since we are not used to hiking at this altitude.

The only negative thing I can say about the Grand Canyon is that it is crowded. It is the week before Easter, and a lot of schools are on spring break. It might be better another time.

We take lots of pictures, none of them do the Grand Canyon justice. I’ve posted only a few here.

We’ve been on the road for 29 days, and driven 2,778 miles. Now it’s time to move on to Nevada.
