Today was a delightful morning, waking up to a light covering of snow. What had been lovely red canyon walls the night before were now dusted with fresh snow. Jordan was looking forward to more snowball fights with Mummy (although they are rather one-sided!)
The day was destined to be a long one, driving down to near the southern entrance of the Grand Canynon, however the delights started early with the Red Canyon showing off a new side with the fresh snowfall.
We steadily travelled south, crossing over into Arizona. I have to say that I never expected to like the desert, having historically favoured lakes, trees, mountains and the like. However I found myself being totally enamoured with the reds and browns, especially the dramatic cliffs of the canyons and mountains. Gorgeous!
And then we drove through Glen Canyon - absolutely spectacular, with a huge dam and hydro station crossing the river below.
Having been driving for a while, we found a nice, clean McDonalds for Jordan to have a play and let off some steam. Considering the hours we have been spending on the road the last few days he has been fantastic, sitting for hours in his booster seat playing imaginary games with his various toys.
Eventually, after a long day travelling south we arrived at the KOA - once again the GPS performed flawlessly. I would not like to have done this trip without it!
Well, tomorrow morning it is off to the Grand Canyon we go!!
