You know how it\u2019s said that \u201cNeither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night\u201d can stop postal workers? We felt a bit similar on this trip: not a busted van nor blowing snow nor hours of monotonous desert highways could keep us from the Grand Canyon\u2014and on Sunday we finally made it!<\/p>\n

As you can see in our gallery<\/a>, we took in the awesome, billion-year-old sights over the course of nearly seven miles of walking. We were blessed with a gloriously clear & fairly warm day, and fortunately neither daredevil Hen nor Irish-despondent Dad took a plunge into the canyon. Hen was also more than thrilled to spend a bunch of time up close & personal with the cars of the famous Grand Canyon Railway. Afterwards we pit stopped at an air museum & then finished the day on the neon-lit streets of historic Route 66 in Williams, AZ.<\/p>\n

And here you can see some of what we experienced while walking around the canyon & later the train:<\/p>\n
