Woke up early for our trip. I put water on for my tea and we made up the sleeping bags. We left about 8 am. We passed Two Guns and Twin Arrows on our way to the Grand Canyon.
We were almost alone on the trip into the canyon until we went to the entrance. There were cars lining up but since we have the senior pass we went through the gate with out a problem. Boy were we surprised to see the crowds once inside. We really thought we would have the place to ourselves. Once again proving how wrong we were.
I was really afraid. We were so high and the canyon was a drop I did not want to take. I did venture close enough to a hand rail to touch it. Once my hand was on the rail, I looked over for well, maybe a second but not two.
At the ranger headquarters we talked to a young woman, last name Toy. She said that they don’t drive to work, they find it easier when it snows to use skies or snow shoes.
Even with the fear of death looming over me, I enjoyed everything. It was breath taking in more than one way. I had tears in my eyes the first view of the canyon. This was beyond words. It was the heart pounding, the awe thinking and most importantly, the Godliness of it all. This great canyon inspires poets and artists. There I stood, such a small person in such a large world, and I could not find a word to pass on to my children to explain what was in my heart, no what was in my soul.
