We drove from Needles, CA (hell on earth - where the temperature at 7:30am was 98 degrees) through the desert to the Grand Canyon. We were able to drive around the South Rim at sunset and took many great pictures. The Grand Canyon is definitely a major tourist area and we hid out at our campsite for several hours during the heat of the day.
Day 11 (Thursday June 26, 2008)
After spending the worst night ever on a air mattress, with a slow leak and multiple animals outside of our tent, we decided to get an early start on the day. We woke up, packed up, took a couple of shots of Grand Canyon at sunrise and hit the road at 6:30am. We hit New Mexico and stopped in Albuquerque for lunch at a great mexican restaurant in Old Town. We finally stopped in Amarillo, Texas. We drove a total of 700 miles today. Pretty much exhausted now.
