Grand Canyon
National Park
What can
I say about the Grand Canyon? It's big! You saw that coming
right? In fact, it's so big that it hard to experience at a
human level. Just gazing at it from the rim, I felt disconnected
from it. It was like looking at something through a window without
being able to touch it. You really need to go into the canyon
and see it on a more intimate level. |

It
seems like wherever you go along the canyon is a prime spot
for quiet contemplation. I just watched it's many formations
that changed with the passing of each new cloud.

| You
wont find many choices for dining in the Grand Canyon Village
area. The restaurant at El Tovar was by far the best of the
three restaurants we sampled. The hotel and dinning room are
located on the rim. The food was so much better than what we
found elsewhere that we felt the slightly higher prices were
justified. I thought that the prices were very reasonable for
this type of restaurant. Breakfast and lunch ran about $8 per
person. Dinner was more expensive; from $18 per person. They
had a good selection of wine for you connoisseurs. Open daily
for breakfast: 6:30am-11am; lunch: 11:30am-2pm; dinner: 5-10pm
(Dinner reservations required: (928) 638-2631 ext. 6432); Lounge:
11am-11:30pm. |
