We had a great day at the Grand Canyon. The mules were just setting out on the trail to the bottom of the Canyon -- something to do next trip although reservations many months in advance are the norm.
We went to the ranger talk on the geological history of the Canyon and hiked the rim trail back -easy 3 mile walk along the ridge of the Canyon -- we admired some of the hikers coming up from the depths of the canyon - around 9 miles each way.
We left the Grand Canyon mid afternoon and headed for Flagstaff and Albuquerque.
Enroute to Albuquerque we stopped at the National Meteor Monument -- off of rt 40 by 5 miles. Worth the hour of time we spent but this is a one time visit to this giant crater.
We were glad we had made reservations in Albuquerque - the International Arabian Horse Show was taking place. From comments from our hotel clerk, this is a much higher maintenance crowd than the usual business types who visit the Hampton Inn but he managed to check us in to the very last room. We checked into tickets - none available so decided to spend Saturday AM in Santa Fe with Albu. as our backup plan for the afternoon.
