Day 5

Today we finally arrived at the Grand Canyon. Upon reaching the canyon, my breath was simply taken away. If you've never been to the Grand Canyon, go; it's amazing. Looking out into the vast canyons, I could only think of the creativeness and splendor of the Lord God Almighty, only He could create something as majestic and inexpressable as this. The wind, the weather, the sun, everything in this atmosphere, makes it an unforgettable experience. It definetly is in the desert, with hot weather during the day, and at night, the temperature was 27 degrees. I slept with 2 jackets, pants, socks, and a toboggan, and was still cold. Before going to bed, we were sure to put the food in the van. The Grand Canyon also is a town, believe it or not. Directly on top of the flat plains that lead to the deep massive canyons, is a grocery store (the place where I bought a massive 16 ounce steak for the camping), a post office, and its only small community with churches and its own train system, so if you ever get tired of the wilderness, just know that civilization is just at the top of the canyon...
