Coral Sand Dunes/ N Rim Grand Canyon
9/4/07
Well today we left home at 9:10 am and started off to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We stopped on the way at the Coral Sand Dunes, it cost $5.00 a car up to 8 people to get in since it’s a state park. It was ok for a sand dune I guess the sand is pretty. Don’t know how the color will show up in the pictures but it is coral looking. They say this is the only place in the world with coral sand.
Went on to the North Rim and spent a lot of time there. It’s neat and not near as many people that come in on the south side. We drove all we could in the park, stopped and had lunch, stopped at the visitor’s center got a pin to go on our trip tie and they gave us a free post card.
Didn’t see any wildlife except for some turkeys. Came back to Knanb, UT and stopped at the pizza hut and ate it was getting to be 7:00 PM by then. Stopped for more gas, filled up on the way up and then coming back since it was cheaper there then in Hatch. Got home right at 8:00 PM and boy was we tired. Put some stuff away, watched a little TV and went to bed. Will have to do the same with this one with the other will just have to post when I can and put pictures on.
We will be leaving here Thursday morning (the 6th) so going to clean house and put things away tomorrow to get ready to get on the road.
Bye now and love you all.
