Off Road Adventure-Destination Grand Canyon


We all needed to get out of the house and get away from the craziness, so we decided to take an adventure. We loaded the camp trailer and headed out. Our plan was to drive down the Arizona Strip until we found somewhere to stop and camp for a few days.

The first night we kept saying that spot looks nice, but we just kept going and going through horrible muddy roads, down roads the trailer maybe shouldn't have been on, until finally we stopped. The place were we ended up stopping was just a few miles from the back rim of the Grand Canyon. I think we were all happy to stop, because being on a dirt road for that amount of time can take it's tole on you.
This picture shows you just how muddy the road we had been on was. Also the camp site shows you how desolate of an area we were in. No one else around, no phone service whatsoever either.
 The next morning we unhooked the trailer and drove to the Grand Canyon. We have never been to the Grand Canyon before so the views were pretty awesome, despite the road we had to travel to get there.






 After exploring by the Grand Canyon for awhile we headed back to camp. Chloe did some Target practice and Bryce did some exploring. We decided to move a little closer to civilization for the 2nd night. 

We had a good weekend. It was for sure an adventure, sometimes the unplanned ones are some of the funnest and I'm sure it's a memory the kids will always remember.
