What a day! We had an early start (as usual) and after breakfast at the hotel went to the Grand Canyon National Park to hike the Shoshone trail which is relatively unknown. On the way, we saw some animal prints - I thought it was a cougar but it was probably just a deer! After 20 minutes hike, we got to the viewpoint only to see NOTHING BUT FOG! After a hike to Kaibab Point (which although was foggy started to clear up just a tad), we decided to go Westbound. Luckily - the weather kept getting better and the sun came out - so we got some pretty amazing pics of the South Rim. After lunch - a small hike to the Yavipai point until it started to get grey and thunder & lightning struck. Great. So much for our chopper ride (so we thought). We went to Papillon Helicopters and yes, the flights were on! 25 minutes heli ride - absolutely amazing! It then strikes you - how beautiful nature can be and how lucky we are to experience that beauty!
