The weather was just perfect that day too. With these first impressions we did board again the Southbound Train and back to dinner at our Railway Hotel for a last night. Next day we drove back to the Grand Canyon National Park to spend 2 nights in one of their great lodges.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-40399270909896988412014-11-01T12:10:58.158-04:002014-11-01T12:10:58.158-04:00Dearest Kay,

This looks like a great way to see the sights and not have to deal with the traffic. I am very sorry to hear about your friend. A young friend of mine just lost her brother and father in one week.

You are right, impossible to captu...Dearest Tamago,<br />You are right, impossible to capture its full magnitude! Luckily I never have been afraid of heights but it did make us very uneasy when some youngsters got literally out on a lone rock to look cool on photo... The bus driver warned all of us for not to go to close to the Canyon's edge as each year it causes several death. Even at such heights, the winds are very strong and what if you roll over a piece of stone or wood? You're gone; forever...<br />We are so pleased for having chosen to go to the South Rim, versus most tours will only bring you briefly to the one view point with glass bottom where it is even prohibited to make photos. And besides, everybody is on that same spot... It belongs to the native Indians, whether the South Rim is within the Grand Canyon National Park and is free for entering any view point. Buses ride for free the entire day to bring you from A to B. <br />Hugs to you,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-89014542721960766522014-10-30T17:11:39.324-04:002014-10-30T17:11:39.324-04:00Beste Marianne,

Het is een mijl diep, oftewel 1,600 meter. Heel indrukwekkend en bijna onmogelijk om te 'vangen' in een foto. Zelfs opnames vanuit een helicopter zijn nog ver van de werkelijkheid.<br />Liefs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-28525977262091131082014-10-30T17:09:23.640-04:002014-10-30T17:09:23.640-04:00Querida Angélica,

Dass ist aber auserhalb das Grand Canyon National Park und gehört den Indianer. Da darf man auch nicht fotografieren und man bezahlt etwa $ 90.00 um da zu stehen. Da dachte ich, nein, wenn man schon hingeht, so weit vom Haus, dann soll man auch frei herumlaufen und auch fotografieren können. Also haben wir uns entschlossen dieser South Rim zu besuchen. Meistens kommen die Touristen aus Las Vegas oder Hoover Dam, nur an den North Rim...<br />Liebe Grüsse,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-20300439899736845002014-10-30T16:59:09.967-04:002014-10-30T16:59:09.967-04:00Dearest Georgette,
