Our final stop on our roadtrip: Grand Canyon, Arizona! We had to time our arrival so that we wouldn't be rained out :) A few interesting facts: it is 77 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters). We took a short hike down into the canyon on the Kaibib trail.

The whole trip was 10907 mi / 17553 km long. |

It was windy near the watchtower! |

Finally we made our way back to California:
|
Here we were on highway I-40, about to cross the Colorado river which delimits Arizona and California. |
|
Crossing the Mojave Desert before arriving in the Los Angeles area. |
After we arrived, we quickly cleaned up the RV, post some nice pictures online, and within 5 days we had sold it. Overall it was a great (learning) experience :) Up next for us is a trip to Europe to visit: France (Marc's family in Le Creusot), Portugal, Slovenia, Croatia, and Sweden. After that we head off to St. Louis to start a new and more stationary chapter.
