Trip to the Grand Canyon and Phoenix






Josh and I just went out West for a long weekend recently and it was an amazing trip. I flew into Phoenix on Thursday, Josh was already there with Chick-fil-a. We rented a Jeep and drove to the Grand Canyon, stopping in Sedona on the way. It was about a 7 hour trip but well worth it. You start out in the desert and drive through mountains and forrests and there is just so much scenery. We spent most of the next day driving through the Canyon stopping at all the points to see the views. We tried to see the Sunrise but much to our dismay a snow storm came through and there was no sun to be seen. It was still a beautiful morning but I wish there had been more sun just for the warmth. The weather was in the 40s but with the wind it felt much colder. After the day in the Grand Canyon we drove back to Phoenix in a stow storm, 50mph winds, and sunshine. Our journey took us through so many types of landscape and climates. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone that hasn't done it already. I just wouldn't go in February. We spent the rest of the weekend in Phoenix where it was warmer and ate at In and Out Burger twice. It's my new favorite fast food restaurant, I love the fresh cut fries. We missed Dozer terribly but he was well taken care of by my mom! I have included a few pictures from the trip but will try to put up a link to all the pictures soon.
