Yet another spectacular day in the Grand Canyon. The temperature was up and the weather was excellent. After packing the car, we spent the majority of the day hiking the 16 km (10 mile) Widfors trail. At the end of the trail there was an incredible view over the canyon. Luckily we got there early so we were the only ones there. The peace and tranquility was amazing, just sitting on the edge looking across the huge gorge. It felt more like being in a painting than to be there in real life, stunning. After the hike we went back to the campground took a quick shower and speed towards Sedona National Park. It was a pretty long drive and about a few hours into the drive we ended up in a huge sandstorm. It was amazing and very scary at the same time. You couldn’t see the road because there was so much sand blowing across. Sometimes a huge gust of wind hit the car and we had to drive very carefully not to end up in the ditch. Fantastic experience. We also had a quick stop when we crossed a beautiful gorge at the Colorado river. We had to stop, take some pictures and look down the 100 m (300 feet) deep, vertical mountain walls. We ended up in Sedona around 10 in the evening where we found a campground, cooked dinner and set up for the night.
