Day 12
The Grand Canyon, a meteor, and some stony trees.
The day started with a frozen 17 degrees in the mountain town of Williams AZ - from there it is a pretty 45 minute drive north to the Grand Canyon park. $25 gets you in, and then you get to explore the beauty.
I hiked a bit on the rim trail - before making my way on a certain bucket list road - route 64 East. This road is awesome - both for curves, and for scenery. It has some cool wildlife signs like a mountain lion next 10 miles...
after that, i had a high speed run down to rt 40 and then over to the Meteor Crater - $16 bucks here - nice to see but nothing compared to the canyon.
finally - i made it through the petrified forest, and painted desert before stopping in Gallup NM.
