As we were headed to Sedona, AZ in the Motorhome we talked about it on the drive and decided we wanted to go to the Grand Canyon. So as soon as we arrived at the campground, we put the jacks down, put the slides out, and  then got in the car and headed to the Grand Canyon. On the way, we stopped at this town called Bedrock City, AZ for lunch. It was a cute place decorated like the Flintstones cartoon town so it was a fun place to stop along the way.

Then as we headed on to the Canyon, just as we got inside the park there were 2 elk walking across the road! We stopped and took some photos and then kept going. We walked around the rim of the Canyon  and then as we walked down a path, Daddy and Morgan found 4 more elk just walking around. As we headed down the paths we realized there were even more and one of them was a 10 point buck!

We watched them for about an hour as the buck rubbed his rack against a tree and the mother elk was nursing her babies. After we were done watching them, we went to look at the canyon more when we were headed back to the car we found 6 more elk! All standing right off  to the side of the path.

When we started our day, the drive was only going to be less than  1o0 miles in the motorhome and that would have been one of the shortest trips of the summer! But then, since we decided to go to the Grand Canyon in the car, it still ended up being 240 miles round trip because we ended up making another side trip to Sedona that night on the way home for dinner.

So by the end of the day when we arrived back to the motorhome at 10pm, the 100 miles in the motorhome turned into about a 400 mile day with a lot of unexpected adventure. Just the way we love it!
