As you enter into the park you can tune your radio to the park information station. One of the things it mentioned was that when you see the Grand Canyon it will look like a picture. Well, that is exactly what it felt like...like I was looking at a picture. Words can not accuratly describe the vi

We left the state of Texas and stayed one night in Roswell, NM...no sightings of aliens. Drove all day yesterday, and stopped at the Petrified Forest National Park. It was pretty cool...basically a colorful desert and petrified trees. Last night we stayed in Flagstaff, AZ. We went down to San Fr
