Left Flagstaff and set off towards the Gran Canyon. I went to the South Rim of the canyon and was glad that I put the Grand Canyon in my route. Without seeing it in person, it is very hard to describe with words and pictures. My favorite view point was Grand View Point as there was a hiking trail that I walked on for a bit. According to the Nation park "The original Grandview Trail was created to connect the rim with copper mines on Horseshoe Mesa." If I ever go back it would be fun to walk all the way to the bottom and see whats left of the mines and I'd also like to go to the west side and do the Skywalk that they have.
After leaving the Grand Canyon started heading towards California. Did about 80 miles on Route 66 which was pretty cool. Found a cool little shop/gas station where the owner had so many nice cars he parked them out front to show off. I had to take a picture of the one I thought was the coolest!
Did a lot of interstate miles today too which was kind of a drag but was able to put on lots of miles quickly. Just before the CA border, temps started to sky rocket. My bike said air intake temps got up to 115 degrees which has got to be the hottest I've ever ridden in.
For dinner there was a Jack in the Box just down the road. Burger was actually really good and the fries weren't too bad. All in all, a great day!
Get to fly an airplane tomorrow! Super excited to learn how to do some stunts in the air!!
