The only place on our entire trip where we spent more than one night was Flagstaff, Arizona. I had a feeling we would need a little more time to explore the Grand Canyon. Plus, the whole idea to take this trip in the first place grew out of our idea to visit the Grand Canyon.
We considered flying to Vegas and renting a car to drive to Bryce, Zion, and the GC, but opted for the monster road trip instead. I'm glad we did what we've done, as it has been an odyssey that will reap lifelong dividends for the six of us in ways we can't even imagine.
The Grand Canyon, as all of you who have visited this place well know, defies description and human comprehension. Like Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon is something that must be viewed, heard, smelled, felt and breathed in order to begun to be understood.

| Here we are! |
 |
| Gotta get to the edge of the rim |
 |
| I am so small |
 |
| On the precipice of grandeur |
 |
| Exhilaration! |
 |
| Happiness |
 |
| As far as the eye can see |
 |
| Oh say, can you see? |
 |
| My canyon, our canyon |
 |
| Looking down to look up |
 |
| Exploring Desert View Watchtower |
 |
| Homage to the original inhabitants of this land |
 |
| Our last National Park on our Epic Odyssey! |
