Recommend that you return visit in February with a bit of snow. The landscape contrasts are wonderful. Someday treat yourself to a night at the El Tover, with a canyon view room, delightful. Decades ago, breakfast was superb, recieved a newspaper, just show your room key, meal is put on your room tab, top service when they know you are a guest, was seated in front the warm fireplace, memories.
I'm going down to the Grand Canyon for Christmas this year, a solo road trip from Canada. I am so excited to see it. This place has been on my bucket list for so long. Yes, I know the weather can be questionable, and the North Rim is closed.
I went to The Grand Canyon back in February. Hadn't been there in 40+ years. Pictures just don't do it justice, it's amazingly beautiful. I went to Monument Valley on my way home and loved that as well. Not sure if you've ever been there (I'm guessing you have), but IF you haven't, I highly suggest it. It's majestic.
I read a book last year that I bought at the Sacramento train museum, entitled “the Harvey girls“. I was intrigued by Mary Coulter, especially given the times. There is some controversy about whether or not she designed certain structures. I have passed the book onto friends so I don’t have it in front of me, but it’s an excellent read. It talks about the Harvey system. A huge part of history that I, at 70 years old, never heard or read anything about. A very much enjoy your upbeat attitude and go with the flow attitude you’re very very comfy, Thanks for taking us on the journey with you!
I'm a Nespresso junkie too, Melozio is my addiction....interesting to see you navigate this machine in a vehicle, lol. The water carafe makes it so clunky even in the kitchen. Was worth the trouble with that gorgeous view, I used to live in Williams and the canyon was my "home" too.
Nice video 👍. Regarding your caption noting the presence of cars in the SK trailhead lot (despite a sign to the contrary), the hiker shuttle driver explained to us that those cars belong to the folks who work down in the canyon (Phantom Ranch, etc). They park there, hike down, work for some number of days (I can’t recall precisely); then, hike back out to their car at the trailhead.
Thanks for sharing your visit to the Grand Canyon! It has been around 40 years since I have taken the time to stop in at the Canyon. My wife and I and our infant son spent a day there back in 1985 when I was working for the Forest Service in NW New Mexico. I am sure we missed many things in our hurried visit, including the beautiful tower, than you for giving us a tour. Interesting way to cook eggs and noodles, do you cook them at the same time, in the same water? how long do you boil them for? I subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more of your travels. Bob
There is so much to see at the Grand Canyon. This was something like, my fifth visit and the first time I visited most of those places. I cook the eggs first (boil) and then add the noodles to the water. They take 5 and 4 minutes respectively but that’s approximate based on elevation.
You are a very nice person......I always wish the best for you as I view your vids. I lived and went to school and studied Geology at NAU in another life.
Hi Christine, chris from Australia 🇦🇺.. A question I'd like to ask, Do you miss living in a home? Also I wish you the most positive thoughts with your long trek next year. You have alot of spark and you can do it, well have faith in you.
I love the Grand Canyon. I took my ex wife and her daughters there. We had our first family picture there. I want to go back but it’s still too painful
Great views! What a stunning location. I loved the gorgeous brick home/museum too. Question: I’m headed to the Subaru dealer tomorrow and I’m hoping to own my own Ascent but in green. The price keeps inching up! Which things did you add to the base vehicle that you think were most helpful in your travels? Any that weren’t as important in the big scheme of things?
I have an English friend (a Nun) who recently moved into the (Grand Canyon) Kadampa Buddhist Temple in Flagstaff. Pop in and say "hello Yvonne , from David x" please?🙊 I stayed (snowed in for a night) in the Thunderbird Lodge on South rim once, a fab. river rocks fireplace in reception.👌e Have a lovely trip.👌
What coffee maker and k-cups do you use? BTW I like your videos. Glad you’re doing more videos. Also glad you’re feeling better. Will you get a seasonal job this coming year.
boo I miss live once again. Work sucks. I always wanted to get lost in the Grand Canyon. Its like a fantasy of mine. hehe. Don't ask. B/C I aren't saying. ./nope
Wow the Grand Canyon is absolutely incredible! So fascinating. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. I'm so happy you got to experience it ♥️
Wow 🤩 what a grand view ❣
This has me so much more pumped up for my guided backpacking trip into the Grand Canyon at the end of March.
Great stuff!!
I'm sure you'll have an amazing time!

I saw you on the hike and almost said hi!
What?! Ah, that's so cool!
Wow, you went to some really cool places. I never knew about that tower and now i want to go back---
I've never made it to the Grand canyon. Thank you for taking all that amazing footage of it! Looks like you had a wonderful time there!
Your videos keep getting better and better!
Wow. The Grand Canyon is so amazing ❤
Thank you for showing us the picture in the beginning, it’s absolutely stunning

I was just in Monument Valley, it was my first visit. Video to come on that!
I never get tired of that view. ❤
Beautiful!

I’ve never heard of that book but it sounds intriguing! I’m going to look into it.
@ I think you’d enjoy it!
This is your best video ever. So beautiful.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Wow! Thanks for taking us with you to Grand Canyon

Beautiful scenery! I have to get out to the Grand Canyon someday.
P.s. love the slippers ❤
Wow what an amazing place..very picturesque. Gotta admit Christine. You have beautiful eyes..
Love watching your adventures! I live in Tempe, Az and the Grand Canyon never disappoints❤️
Nice video 👍.

Aloha it a nice day at the Grand Canyon
Aloha! It certainly was!
I love the Grand Canyon. I took my ex wife and her daughters there. We had our first family picture there. I want to go back but it’s still too painful
I’m sorry to hear that it’s painful place for you. I can understand that.

Oh fantastic! I’m happy for you! I think the main thing was the moonroof. I really wanted it and I’m glad I have it.
@ Thanks!

Nespresso Vertuo
Thanks for watching! I have a Nespresso Vertuo. I'm not planning on seasonal work this year but we'll see what happens.
❤❤❤
You seem like you put a lot of thought into the voiceover narrations
I went down into the canyon by mule, was awesome!
You're brave!
@nomad_unknown I've rode lots of horses so I was good 👍
Rim to rim to rim next time??
I'm working on training so that'll hopefully be within reason for me one day!
@nomad_unknown Awesome! Just FYI, the temp at the bottom is about the same as Phoenix.
@@jimhutchison3435 Wow that sounds brutal!
boo I miss live once again. Work sucks. I always wanted to get lost in the Grand Canyon. Its like a fantasy of mine. hehe. Don't ask. B/C I aren't saying. ./nope
I really wanted to drop down to the bottom on the Mule Train, but too much ❄❄❄⛄⛄ snow when I was there.😪😪
You're braver than me! I wouldn't get on a mule in the GC. haha!
