Day 90 - Tucson - Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA
Day 90 – 6th September 2005 -8:00 GMT Total Miles 15505
Set of at 9:30am and drove North on the I-17. We drove through Phoenix and onto Flagstaff. We stopped here and bought some sandwiches which we ate a short while later when we stopped in the Kaibab State Park. After a six hour drive we arrived at the Grand Canyon and stopped at the first lookout point to take in the spectacular view. Since this was my fourth visit I was not to bothered about coming but it is just spectacular and I am glad I did return.

We then went to the village area to arranged a hotel room for the night within the Grand Canyon Park, we were told at the time that no rooms were available and to come back in 30 minutes to see if any off the other hotels had released rooms. So we took a walk part way down the Angel Trail, which is the route down to the Colorado River.

After about an hour we went back to the Village Area and they had a room for us at Yavapai Lodge. So we checked in and dropped off out bags. We then caught the free shuttle to Hopi Point where we stayed for an hour or so and watched the sunset over the canyon, what an amazing sight.
