Day 7: Leaving Grand Canyon

Waking up at 430 am to see the sunrise this morning was so worth it. Thankfully the tent held her own last night and we had no leaks. We walked about 45 minutes to the rim of the Canyon to find a good vantage point for the sunrise. There were few people around and the quiet was amazing. Unfortunately the clouds did not cooperate so much of the sunrise was blocked. But, to make up for this, mother nature let us run into 4 elk. 3 females (cows) we saw on the walk to the Canyon, just at the entrance to the campground. Then we saw a male (bull) on our way back. It was so cool! I've got pictures on my camera but not on my phone.

We packed up camp and got ready to hit the road, but not before a crow came along and ate our Franz bread right through the packaging! Bastard. And this wasn't any ordinary crow, oh no. This was a crow on steroids! He was huge!

On the road again we're making our way across Arizona to Four Corners Monument and then on to Denver tonight.
