THE GRAND CANYON AND VERDE VALLEY ARIZONA

We headed out to the Grand Canyon on June 12th, on the way we stopped at this air museum. It was worth the stop and it was only $6 for the admission.

There were lots of World War II vintage planes and others.

The description of this WW I plane explained that it was dangerous and no one wanted to fly it. The engine was undependable. 

A BD-5 home built.

There were a lot of displays like this. Very interesting.

Cars on display in front of a "Tourist Trap/Gas Station" they will do anything to get someone to buy one of their $61 shirts, Yup! I said $61

The cars were cool though.

We made it, scratch this one off the bucket list. The Grand Canyon takes your breath away, it so beautiful.

We hiked about 2 mi. along the rim.

Every direction another photo opp.

The weather was very nice, about 85 F.


We were able to zoom in the Colorado river about 5 mi. below.


On our way out of the National Park we spotted a heard of Elk, Belinda walked back and took pictures.


Helicopters were like a swarm of bees around the Grand Canyon.


This was the RV park we stayed at in Williams AZ. It had all we needed and was very well kept. The wind there was brutal.


Belinda took a walk around Williams before we left for a ride to the Verde Valley of AZ.


We had a wonderful ride that day.

We took hwy 89 down to Prescott then 89A to Jerome, the to Sedona. Had lunch in Sedona. That is a beautiful part of the world. We will go back there again some day.

And then the battery in the camera died and we went to Sedona for lunch and a beer.
