Kanab (Grand Canyon)

We left Salt Lake City at the normal time and we headed for Kanab.  Along the way we stopped at Bryce Canyon, it was really beautiful.  It is very hard to describe, it was lots and lots of erroded ground that formed peaks in the middle of the canyon.  There was lots of different colours of reds and oranges, really pretty.  We were there for a couple of hours and had the chance to go for a walk.  Katrina did the trail that went down into the canyon and I did the one around the rim.  The drop off the side of the trail didn't agree with me at all.  Once everyone had returned from the walk we continued on our journey and finally reached Kanab.  It is a very small town and the only thing it is known for is the wild west movies that were shot in the area.  Being so small there wasn't a lot to do so we all had a carpark party.  A lot of people went to bed early that night.  The following day (Friday) we headed into the North rim of the Grand Canyon.  It was very different to the South rim, there were hardly any trails down into the canyon and there wasn't much of a rim trail either.  A few people did the trail down into the canyon and they said it wasn't very good.  Katrina and I stayed at the top and just had a relaxing day at the lodge.  After spending most of the day there we headed back to the lodge and we spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing in our room before another carpark party that night.  On Saturday we were headed back to Las Vegas.
