Today was a long and tiring day driving from Durango to Grand Canyon.
We left Durango just before 8am, and ventured towards the famous 4 corners, this is where Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona all meet up. The area is also famous for old Indian ruins and reserves.

Me being silly and bored in the car
We drove approx 6.5 hours of which most was through a dry desert landscape, with a beauty of it's own. All entirely worth it when we reached the mighty Grand Canyon, truly one of the 7 wonders of the world. We entered the Park in the North, and left via the South exit.
The views were spectacular!!!
Chris and I are keen to do a paddle/ river raft down the mighty Colorado River down in the Canyon.

Amazing Views of the Grand Canyon!!!!
At the Edge!You can notice that it's summer and everyone seems to be on holiday, tourists everywhere, and prices rather high.
Chris and I then drove down to Tusayan and found a place for the night at the Best Western.
It's been a long day, tomorrow we are off to Las vegas where Chris and I are staying in the Excalibur Hotel on the strip. Can not wait!!!
