ok figured i would update! things went perfectly the roads were great. only snow covered roads were actually at the canyon but the Crown Vic did great!

my first time at the grand canyon it was alittle chilly(the wind) but still AMAZING!

figured i'd share a few pics of the trip.

I don't miss that place one bit! I worked up there for 5 years. seen sooooooooo many vehicles upside down on those roads in winter storms. and tourist! I mean seriously if it is actually "tourist season" why can't we hunt them?
it is totally breath taking! after working there for 5 years than being gone for 7 I went back and hiked down the Kiabab trail, down the river and up Bright Angel trail. that was AWESOM! it took 6 hours and 22 minutes.
