It seems that they raised the prices of visiting a national park such as the Grand Canyon is ridiculous. It cost me 250 dollars to see the Grand Canyon. 25$ per car and 225$ for a damn speeding ticket. We finally made it to the Grand Canyon about an hour before sunset. The North Rim is setup like a resort with many small cabins lining the rim and a great lodge right on the edge. The lodge had a pricey restaurant where you can dine on expensive food while looking out into the Canyon through the large picture windows. After dinner you could relax on faux Adirondack chairs outside while the sun sets.
For the poorer traveler we skipped these ameneties and just ate the beautiful views (ZING!). We walked out on a little secured outcropping built into the side of the canyon and absorbed the sites. The views are way to immense to try and capture with my simple camera. The immensity and scale of the canyon is even more impossible to capture physically, it truly is a site that you must see for yourself.
After watching the sun descend behind the back of the canyon we restarted our never ending travels. Fearing the strict rules and wizardy of the Mormon commanders in Utah we stopped at the last open liqour store just before the border in Arizona. This small esetablishment was half bar / half liqour store, an interesting idea. We all bought our liqour with our 3 different versions of the CT license and crossed the line into the much feared Utah. We found a motel around midnight and crashed.
