Day 2 - March 30 - Flagstaff

Today we drove 70 miles from Flagstaff to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon for some hiking and site seeing at one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.  The canyon is enormous (277 miles long, 18 miles wide, 1 mile deep) and since we only had one day to explore it, we decided to hike down into the canyon for the 360 degree views at Ooh Ahh Point and then walk along the rim for some more sights.  The rim of the Grand Canyon is at 7,000 feet of elevation, so the air is a bit thin, which makes hiking with kids in a backpack pretty tough!

Here's a group of people riding mules up the canyon's switchbacks (this is where we hiked from):
