A Flagstaff trip

Good afternoon.
We've recently returned from Flagstaff, AZ where we spent several days away from the Vegas heat.   :-)
Flagstaff sits at around 6500 ft so the summers are very pleasant.  Our highs there were around 80.
Stayed at a very nice Super 8 motel.
It's in the Wyndham hotel group. We try to stay at cheaper Wyndham hotels and get points that we use at more expensive hotels, like we will be doing in New Orleans.
 While we were there, we took a few day trips. The first was up to the Grand Canyon. An 1 1/2 hour drive north of Flagstaff.

We were here 21 years ago and wanted to refresh our memories. It's still just as spectacular as the first time we saw it. I thought it looked the same, but Craig thought it looked a little deeper.   :-)
Here's a tower they built for an overlook....

And we saw this many times.....People going over the wall or railings to get out to the edge of the cliffs. No wonder there have been so many falls here.


One of the lodges that sit on the edge of the canyon.
And another crazy lady climbing down and walking out on a ridge.
Had a little lunch at one of the lodges. Then back to Flagstaff.
I'll post more of our trip tomorrow.

  1. The people who bypass safety to do stupid things are looking for Darwin. It can't happen to them, until it does.
    Glad you all had a safe, great time.
