Grand Canyon Trip Overview
We drove west to Tucson and stayed near (or was it in?) Saguaro National Park. From there we headed north to the Grand Canyon for a few days and then on to Bryce Canyon National Park.
Here are some of the pictures from the trip. Click on the pictures to see a larger view.
For my own ease, the pictures are in chronological order.
For some viewers, the pictures will expand when the cursor is positioned over top of them. A larger picture is still available by clicking on the picture.
