South Rim of the Grand Canyon





We tramped all along the trails that follow the rim of the canyon. We did not attempt to go down into the canyon. That is for the truly adventurous. We drove to the east along the rim. The east end is called Desert View and this tower (the Desert View Watchtower) is there.

We stayed in Williams, Az in order to visit the Grand Canyon. This is an expensive area (obviously they survive on tourism). We did find a good restaurant in Williams called the Country Pine Restaurant. It has great food ( even the cooked veggies were very good) but they are more well known for their pie. Of course we had to try some pie ----mmmmm good.


We went on to Kingman from Williams and are now in Brenda, Az down by Quartzite. We've started exploring and rockhounding the area along highway 60 between hwy 93 and where intersects with I-10. There are lots of old mines and great places to walk in the desert.
