Dizzying (Grand Canyon)

We were prepared not to be impressed at Grand Canyon National Park because we have seen so much already and there is so much hype about it. We found ourselves ill-prepared; the Grand Canyon is more than we could have imagined. Our first time walking to the edge was dizzying.
One highlight was being pursued by some bighorn sheep on the south rim trail! We were definitely too close. We tried twice to move out of their way, but they kept on coming! So we did what any visitor would do, we took pictures.
We saw the sunset from inside the car at Moran Point. It was so beautiful that Andrew fell asleep for ten minutes. On the way out of the park, we stopped to see the IMAX Grand Canyon Movie. The actors were novice, but watching them run the rapids in old fashioned boats was fun. The best part was when the mountain lion wrestled the trapper so that his hand got caught in the trap. Real believable.

We are staying at the Budget Inn in Flagstaff, AZ. We finished listening to Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman.
