So today we went early at 5:30 clock direction from our hotel, Grand Canyon, about 10 clock We then made a stop in Kingman, where we had breakfast in the Roadrunner Cafe for now. Then we went to Grand Canyon Village, which we reached around 12:30 clock too. From there we decided to take the eastern route and the canyon to take in its eastern expansion. Our first view of the canyon offered at Yavapai Point, and here was clear, as it is impressive and breathtaking trip will be. Unbelievable right and insights into the canyon on the edge. Thus, it can also be said that this trip is definitely one of the most hazardous, since the ice and snow, everything was very smooth and did the rest of the thaw added. Nothing more, we spared no danger to the best view and Incredible views of the canyon to have. Admittedly, sometimes it was really quite reckless to go as close to the edge and the cliff, but the views we have compensated for it.
A piece of nature, which is 1840 million years old (the age of the earth is estimated as 4550 million years) to 5-6 million years ago shaped the present form, has more than 1400m deep at the deepest point and still 750m above sea level, is between 13-26km wide and extends over a length of 446Km. No matter what viewpoint you have been, always saw something new and saw new breathtaking rock formations and craters in the canyon. He also seems a bit unreal, as it depends above all flat and suddenly these canyons are. It has to be the impression at the end of the world where the comparison starts a new one. Simply incredible how such a tiny river that can shape how the Collorado River in a couple of millions of such a canyon. Moreover, can the different rock layers seen very well. The upper layers are usually very bright, as they were originally below sea level and were pushed upward and therefore having the greatest height difference behind. The middle and lower classes are mostly reddish brown and give the canyon its unique appearance. In addition, the air was incredibly clear and pure, so you could see very far. In etwsa 5 ° C and bright, strong sun, which was very hot it ran stand on, so that some visitors were brave enough to go in T-shirt and shorts ... Apparently it seems also more frequent thunderstorms in the canyon, as we saw on our tour and spent a lot of split trees. The animal and plant life is also unique, ranging from rare species of crows and elk to coyotes to. Pine trees to be found exclusively in all forms. From this viewpoint it was on to Yaki Point, then to Grand View Point, from there to the point and then to Morano Tusayain Point, where we visited ruins of Native Americans who lived in the canyon. Unfortunately, the snow high, so we could see the ruins of little ... We went to Lipan Point from there to the Navajo Point and finally to eastern viewpoint of the canyon, the dessert Viewpoint. There is also an old tower, the original inhabitants who had been walked on and from what we once had a beautiful view of the canyon ... Meanwhile, it was afternoon now, so the setting sun gave the canyon its unique charm. After this last point, we were on our way to Flagstaff for a hotel for the night to find. on the way, we stopped again at an Indian market, but had to, but from which one had the best view of the beginning of the canyon and the Colorado River. then it was final and without stopping to Flagstaff, where we arrived at 8 clock and found a nice hotel. Our experiences we processed during the last dinner in an Irish pub in Old Downtowwn. back end had arrived at the hotel each for himself the evening and was glad to be able to sleep because the day was very exhausting yet. But the effort has definitely paid off and have to leave early for the compensation ... Tomorrow morning we will leave to return to Phoenix, where we have to be about 6 clock back to our games on the courts.
