grand canyon national park

day 3 on the road: the grand canyon

after we went to the petrified forest, we headed over to the grand canyon.

as you probably saw from my last post, the weather was pretty dismal. but we weren't expecting what we got here.

snow! we were kind of upset, because we couldn't see very far out into the grand canyon. so we decided it wasn't too cold, and we'd walk around and hopefully it would clear up.

kaelee had made herself a bucket list a while ago, and she was reading it to me while we were driving through the petrified forest, and i guess 'sitting on the edge of the grand canyon' was on it.

then somehow, it cleared up.

there's only so many photos you can take of the grand canyon before it all looks the same. but the views were spectacular. i would've loved to see it in its prime, next time.

it started snowing again, so we left.

sometimes not correcting photos makes them look pretty cool.

the badlands

day 3 on the road: petrified forest national park, arizona

"With one of the world's largest and most colorful concentrations of petrified wood, multi-hued badlands of the Painted Desert, historic structures, archeological sites, native grassland, and displays of over 200-million-year-old fossils, this is a surprising land of scenic wonders and fascinating science."

this day is also going to be divided into two posts, one will post today, one tomorrow.

i meant to do the other posts like that, but blogger had other ideas apparently.

i really wish we were there on a nicer day. i would've been going on all the trails and running rampantly through the petrified wood.
