Running: 10k - 42 min
The "Ratón" from yesterday was never seen again, and Florencia and I were delighted of being in that beautiful place, so we checked out the later we could, taking advantage of the confy cabin!
Back in the Isuzu we decided to head straight to the Grand Canyon, seeing only by far the famous sculptures of the Monument Valley National Park.
During this drive we also have decided not to go through Las Vegas (originally in our plans), because we would go there anyway in a couple of weeks for a triathlon race. This choice saved us a day or two to get to our final destination, Los Angeles.
We had 177 miles to the Grand Canyon, but we didn't do it in a straight shot. On the way we streched legs at the Najavo National Monument, where indians used to live in this hole in the wall, literally! #veryinteresting!

Next stop was in Tuna City, where we filled the tanks, food or fuel respectively, before heading down to another sightseeing. On the top of the Little Colorado River, this was not a national or a state park, instead it was a Native American owned area, where they encourage visitors to leave donations as an entrance fee.
There is also a beautiful variety of native artcraft. Enchanted by the colors, Florencia got two bracelets. It was totally worth a 30 minutes stop!
A few more miles and we were there . . . The Grand Canyon!
Just one pic say it all!! #Hugeness
The Grand Canyon was the #1 on our trip list. When we started the drive we weren't sure about doing the South or the North Rim. We ended up choosing the South one, as it has a much more convenient route.
We were worried about the crowd, and as everybody warned, it really had tons of people in there. But with an adventurous spirit, you can find some pretty empty and amazing spots to get great views and pics!

Can't remmeber why, but we both got in a bad mood right after leaving the park! This was the most boring part of the trip... another 170 miles with no rest!
Late in the night we stopped to sleep in Kingman, close to the border with California.
