Day 14 - Friday, June 13, 2008



Day 14

Holbrock, Arizona to Grand Canyon Village, Arizona

The archaeologist was so excited she couldn't sleep, so she got up at 4AM and went out to take photographs of the Route 66 establishments in Holbrock. She got back around 6:30AM and went back to bed.


When the rest of the crew woke up, they went to Sam and Agee's Route 66 cafe for breakfast. The owner showed them through some of her historic memoribillia including original cell animation art from Pixar's Cars (roughly based on Route 66 establishments and landscapes).


Then they were off to the Meteor Crater, but not before stopping at lots of curio shops, trading posts, and historic markers.


We hit Flagstaff around 4PM and took scenic Rt. 180 to Rt. 64 into the Grand Canyon.


We got to our lodge inside the Grand Canyon just in time to take the sunset tour.


We stopped at several points before landing at Mohave Point for the sunset. Words can't describe it; photos can't capture it.
