We arrived around 5 pm on Friday. After getting checked in at our camp site we were off to find our allotted location at Mather Camp Grounds and set up our tent (for the first time!). Since it was almost sunset, we decided to drive to some of the nearby points for some last minute sunset pics. It was pretty smoky, but the pics turned out really neat! We headed back to camp to bed down for the night. Let me tell you that it is not the same temp at the Grand Canyon as it is in Vegas! We were a little unprepared for the drop in temperature (45 degrees) from the daytime! We ended up freezing (not literally) and waking up so chilled that I went and started the car just to thaw our feet. Breakfast of fruit and nuts were served in the car! We packed up camp and headed to a parking lot so we could hop on the Grand Canyon bus (which takes you to every point in the park). First we stopped at the visitors center for some bushing up on our history of the canyon, then a short walk over to Mather Point. Wow...my first full view of the Grand Canyon. Quite an experience! And not to mention our 6th year anniversary!! We went all around the park to pretty much every point. Taking the bus some and walking a bunch! Next time, I am definetly taking a mule ride!!
