We woke up Wednesday eager to get some more time in the canyon before heading further West on our journey. We decided to get up early and hit at least one more trail. We settled on one of the more scenic routes, called the Riverside Trail that takes you to the area where the edges of the canyon meet at the mouth of the river called, the Narrows. The trail was pretty flat and easy, which means it was also crowded. Since you are walking along the canyon floor by the riverbed, it is also a much cooler walk. We made our way quickly to the end of the trail where some brave folks in waterproof waders continue on down the river.
After our hike, we packed up and started heading towards Las Vegas! It was my turn to drive, so we loaded up the A-train and started down the mountains. As we were driving through town though, we noticed some elk just hanging out by the road in someones backyard. We decided that was a good enough excuse to stop and take a picture, so we did! Those suckers are huge!
We got in some serious traffic (the worst of the trip) once we got closer to Vegas, so it took us longer than we expected to get to our hotel. By the time we checked in we were beat and decided to take it easy. We had big plans for the next night. :)
