Today we moved the short distance from Williams to Tusayan, AZ which is located adjacent to the south entrance of Grand Canyon National Park.

After setting up our trailer we drove into the park and were flabbergasted. We entered the visitor's center parking lots and there was not a single spot available. Cars were backed up waiting for anyone to pull out - it was a mess. So we drove along Desert View Drive and stopped at a few overlooks (the ones that had parking slots available).

Dogs are allowed on the rim trails so Abby got some fresh air and saw some awesome views.

She even got to meet Smokey the Bear!

Tomorrow we plan to visit the Tusayan Ruins Museum and take a few short hikes around some overlooks; and on Wednesday we will probably take a long hike along the rim trail that is only accessible by foot or shuttle bus (but no dogs are allowed on the bus).
