Cool Trip
Hey CJ,
Cool pics and I bet it was an awesome trip
. I just came back from the Grand Canyon about a week ago. Drove down from Canada with three of my buddies. We camped out in Zion National Park Utah and made a day trip out to the North Rim of the GC
.
I was also out in Big Bend last summer doing a geology field course as part of my degree with the University of Calgary. I love the southern US. Been out there many times on roads trips, camping and hiking. You're lucky to be near such a cool part of the world, it's a long drive for me!
Here's a pic of my buddies and my loaded down HHR.
