On July 22, we toured the south rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The north rim of the canyon is 10 miles across from the south rim, and the Colorado River carves right through it. The Colorado River starts it's journey in Colorado and winds it way through the Grand Canyon and continues all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Be prepared for some spectacular views and variable weather patterns. The south rim is located at the 7000 foot level and temperatures can vary widely and thunderstorms are not uncommon.
Parking inside the park can be challenging. Some areas inside the park can only be accessed via the free bus shuttle which you can catch throughout the park. We opted to drive ourselves as Buddy was with us. Dogs are not allowed in any of the visitor centers or museums.
We enjoyed touring the Tusayan Museum and Ruin near the East Entrance. Indians lived here many years ago and evidence of their living shelters were visible.
