The Grand Canyon and Other Adventures

The day before yesterday we hiked down and up the entire Grand Canyon, and our legs are still a little sore. It was well worth a little bit of pain though, both for the experience of hiking a trail with such breathtaking views, and just to say we did it. I will definitely hike it again if I get a chance.

We also stopped to see Mesa Verde National Park. Mesa Verde is notable for cliff dwellings, homes that Native Americans built into the side of a cliff centuries ago. Unfortunately, we arrived too late to take a tour, so we just got to look at them from a distance.

We're currently on our way through New Mexico to Carlsbad Caverns, which I'm especially looking forward to. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can post about that. Metric out.
