Adventures of NaDave: 1-year Anniv Utah

We packed up from the hotel and headed to Horseshoe Bend just outside Page, Arizona. This famous sight is home to another entrenched meander of the Colorado River.

From here we headed for the Grand Canyon. Along the way we passed some fun cities like Tuba City. We entered Grand Canyon National Park from the east, and stopped along each of the scenic overlooks.

We arrived to the South Entrance Visitor Center and walked around the South Rim, simply beautiful. We took the shuttle buses to a few stops to the west (Hopi Point, etc), then headed back to see Bright Angel Trail. We hiked about 0.25 mile and then turned back. Our family of 4 had hiked part of the rim-to-rim trail.

After seeing the beautiful canyon, we headed for Flagstaff AZ. We got into town in time to see Lowell Observatory, where Pluto was discovered. We stayed there for ~2 hours where we learned about unmanned space voyages, as well as a tour of the constellations.

Around 9pm we headed for our AirBNB, and then headed to a local brewery to grab some food and drinks. We then headed back to our overnight, and got ready for our final day of the trip. It'd be an early morning, as we had our longest day of driving (5+ hours).
