Relaxing at a library in Flagstaff after finishing the big 5 Utah National Parks Woke up with a little snow on the car Route 66! Standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona Taking it easy Historic Route 66 site Miserable start to Petrified Forest, cold and raining We did this really cool trail Found a petrified tree And another Decent views We walked all the way to the top of that hill Glad it warmed up a little bit Trail was a little muddy down in there Time for some big logs So these are literally stones Massive tree-shaped stones The big one! Driving on the historic route 66 Current Route 66, aka Interstate 40 now Weekly meal making, this time it’s steak sandwiches Ate at this cool diner on route 66 Nice big breakfast before grand canyon Not expecting this much snow in Arizona Grand Canyon! Walking the rim trail A little snowy in spots Had to wait an hour for a shuttle bus 🙁 Probably worth it Found the river Just enjoying the view while waiting for the bus Didn’t see any mule trains, but we saw their poo South Kaibab Trail This was our favorite part A baby goat! Cute Money shot Weather was pretty good here We’re hoping to return and take this trail all the way to the river But this was good for just one day
