Mother Daughter Road Trip -- Day 2

So Day Two of our fabulous road trip began with breakfast at some lovely restaurant in Kingman, Arizona, before heading to the GRAND CANYON!!!!!  It was looking a little barren as we drove --

and then we stopped for gas.  Thank God we'd already had breakfast,
 so we DID not eat at the Roadkill Cafe --

a little farther along, we could see some snow on the mountains.

And then we got to the park entrance.
and there was snow!

 

So we looked for the Information Center --

where we found the
BATHROOMS!

And then we talked to the park ranger.
"Where is the best spot to view the canyon?" said I.
And the ranger pointed out all the turnouts on the map.
"Yes," said I. "But where is the BEST spot?"
THERE
IS
NOT
A
BEST
SPOT.
NO
MATTER
WHERE
YOU
LOOK
IT'S

OVERWHELMING,
MAJESTIC,
AWE-INSPIRING,
AND

Scary as all get out!

Do you see how sheer that cliff is???

Do you see how close those eejits are standing to the edge --

in the snow???

According to the park rangers, an average of 6 people fall to their death annually.

I can count three of them right now...
