Today we hiked out to Horseshoe Bend. This is a 270 degree bend in the Colorado River just south of Glen Canyon Dam near Page, AZ. It’s a 1.5 mile hike up and down hills over rough terrain in 90 degree heat. Not that big of a deal… unless you’re on crutches. Maddie was a trooper. This after she crutched half a mile through Antelope Canyon. The hike was worth it; look at that view.

If you listen to KCBS you know what this means, but in our case it’s rain every afternoon. Heavy monsoon rain. Often mixed in with traffic and road construction.

No officer, I was not texting while driving (I was only videoing).

Our trip mascots. Risking their lives at the edge of the Grand Canyon.

Fortunately we brought our own IT guy. So far today Jason has installed the Blu-ray player and fixed the toaster.

Happy Birthday Jason!

Spotted a buck while camping near the Grand Canyon.

Mrs. Travel Bear burnt her leg on a lamp. Maddie made a cast.

Always impressive. Visitors Center is on the Nevada side, but RV parking is on the Arizona side. That’s over a mile hike in 105+ degrees. See the RVs in the distance of the last photo.

Jeff’s version of the famous sign.

The kids rode all the rides. 108 stories up and 108 degrees. Ugh.

I have more kids than usual on this trip, so I had to customize my license plate. I’m sure the cops won’t mind.
