We had to be at the Grand Canyon Hotel lobby by 9:00. Marley went to Doggy Daycare. We had reservations for an Inner Canyon Tour to the bottom of the Grand Canyon to swim in the Colorado River!
We stopped at the Reservation Store for snacks and potty break. Our guide purchased a permit to enter the canyon from the Hualapai Reservation and on we went. It was a very bumpy ride down into the canyon and it was so hot…over 110 degrees down there!
Sherry, Cashton, Al and I about halfway down into the canyon. The ride was so bumpy and slow but we got there!
Our tour guide said we had to stand in the river or she insisted we wear a wet towel around our neck. The water was very cool! We stopped for ice cream at a little town on the way back where the real ‘Mater’ truck is parked. Cashton says his two favorite things of the whole trip were the helicopter ride and swimming in the Colorado River.
Here is a short video of Grampa Al and Cashton playing in the Colorado River!
Kat, the guide, said this is called Kings Rock because it looks like a man with a crown. I just think it looks like Groot!
We stopped at the Snowcap for ice Cream on the way back to Williams. This town inspired the Disney movie "Cars" including the fictional town of "Radiator Springs" and many of the characters.

The original owner of the ice cream shop was quite a joker apparently, he even put two door knobs on the entry door to mess with people. Colleen was too smart to fall for that trick!
Cashton liked his ice cream cone so much that he decided to wear some of it on his face! LOL
Grandma & Cashton having a little fun!
Below is the small reservation grocery where we stopped for the permit and a potty break.
Two videos today! Check out my video of our Tour to the Bottom and the Colorado River
Back in Williams at the Campground. Cashton tried out the pool. It will be another big day tomorrow! Another surprise!
