So on our last day in Sedona, we got up early, stocked up on coffee and baked goods and headed north to the Grand Canyon. It’s about a two and a half hour drive – but well worth it. We headed for the South Rim of the canyon, as it was closer and we only had the one day. We got there before lunch time and had plenty of time to explore. We visited many overlooks, had lunch at El Tovar Hotel and hiked from Mohave Point to Hopi Point. The path between Mohave and Hopi was rocky and narrow. The proximity of the path (which had no guard rails mind you) to the actual rim of the canyon varied, but at times the two were separated by mere inches. Good news though, I only came close to falling into the canyon once or twice. We watched the colors of the rocks change all day from bright orange when we first got there to deep purple at sunset. After the sun went down we loaded back into the car and headed back to Sedona.

And before we knew it, our week was over. We had a great vacation and really enjoyed our time in the Sedona area. Click on the photo above to see the last chunk of our vacation pictures.
