11 September 2016
No ghosts last night. I’m probably not creative enough. I awoke at 5 am and packed the jeep. I then showered, shaved, looked around one more time for Bynner and then headed to breakfast.
The menu for today was:
– artichoke frittata
– apple chicken sausage
– tomato basil salad
– cheddar herb scones
– pear spinach ginger smoothie.
It was difficult but I forced myself to eat everything!
The trip to the Grand Canyon was uneventful except for the large number of transfer trucks on the road. Fortunately it was four lane all the way except for two short construction sections.

I passed both Petrified Forest National Park and Meteor Crater. I would have liked to have seen both but I felt a little tight on the schedule to make it to Bright Angel Lodge and dinner tonight at El Tovar. I used Meteor Crater a good bit in my lectures and it would have been my choice of the two but I had no idea how far from my route it was and how long it would take to get to the bottom.
I foolishly thought that September might see fewer people at the south rim. The place is packed. I almost didn’t find a place to park and when I checked in, the desk suggested I not move the jeep or try for anything closer to the room. I’m staying in Bright Angel Lodge.
The room is 40’s primitive with a sink in the room with shared toilets and showers. That doesn’t bother me since that’s how I grew up. The room rate is the most reasonable in the park.
Tomorrow, I intend to do a day hike along the rim. I can go as far as 8 miles along the rim in one direction and if I get tired, simply catch the park bus back to the room.
I’m really excited about dinner at El Tovar tonight at 6 pm. I tried to get a room here but that’s virtually impossible. Most tour groups rent en masse and there are few individual rooms available and they sell out the first week available.
Dinner was El Tovar salad and strip steak with beef from Arizona. For desert I had a ten year old tawny port. I won’t tell you how much it cost.
How was the rim hike? Traveling vicariously with you and loving your photos. Think a Grand Canyon trip needs to be on our bucket list for the future. Love and happy trails to you.
I’ll do the rim hike today. Let you know later.
