and other adventures at the Grand Canyon! The day began early for John! He arose at 4:30 to get an early start down to the canyon. After checking in at Bright Angel Lodge he headed down the Keibab trail. He will spend the night down there and we expect to see him coming up the Bright Angel trail late tomorrow morning.
The rest of the family got a much slower start. We set off several hours later to see the canyon. The park encourages using the shuttle so we hopped aboard and figured that out. We took in the views from the rim and walked up to Hemit's Rest. At the Hopi house we took in a tradional dance before renting bikes for Adelaide and Mama. Later in the afternoon, the mama was filling water bottles at the spiquot when Adelaide said, "Uh, Mama?" Then "Mama, behind you." Not two feet away were two female elk also come to get a drink at the dripping faucet. Mama moved off fast when one of the elk made eye contact and made a no-nonsense move to tell us that it was their turn! After a bit they moved off enough that we could retrieve the bike and return to whizzing around the park.
