Grand Canyon day 1 10-24

Today we traveled a whole 61 miles to the Grand Canyon National Park, we are in the Trailer Village in the park. It is $24.50 with tax for full hook-ups and cable. We can walk into the Village and walk to the rim from here. There is a wonderful tram service in the park and there is a stop right here at the Trailer Village.

Sadly the weather has changed on us and it is cloudy and raining. We got in and set up by 1:00. It was just a soft rain so we decided to go check out the big GC so we walked over, its about a mile maybe. The visibility is not good when it is raining, but we are hoping for a better today tomorrow. We stayed just long enough to snap a few pictures and then headed back to the Village. The rain was getting a little heavier. We warmed up and dried out a little in the gift shop and grocery store and then walked back home. It poured off and on all afternoon after we got back in. The rain is really needed here, but we wish it could have waited a few more days.

The rv park here isn’t too bad space wise the way the sites are angled and they are all pull through. The trees are pruned so they aren’t a problem in most cases. The grocery store has a little of most everything and the prices aren’t too bad for a resort area.
