We spent the day stopping at dozens of canyon lookouts doing the paparazzi thing... posing for each other...wait till we show you the photo of the “Grand Canyon at the Grand Canyon”. Every view was beyond belief. The changing light had a profound effect on the scene. From moment to moment each and every time you looked again what you saw was unique. The width and the depth of the views could not be captured adequately by our cameras. It was so exciting to do a photo shoot with two volunteer wild elk on the side of the rode – they seemed to be comfortable with their celebrity status! We were pleasantly surprised to arrive on time to visit the Indian Watchtower on the eastern end of the South Rim. This location gives the widest possible view of the Canyon and the Painted Desert. It was designed by Mary Colter in the 1930’s to harmonize with the environment. The distinct images, painted by Hopi artist Fred Kabotie, depict various aspects of Hopi mythology and religious ceremonies. We exited the Grand Canyon Park after sunset over and travelled to Kingman via I-40.
Believe it or not, we went dancing in Kingman the same night. We found a small local bar where we overheard that other than this one DJ bar there was only one more venue for a Friday night, the bowling alley. We skipped the bowling and stayed in the parking lot of this quiet local bar. Can you believe that Kingman, a city with more than 27,000 people can not even support a cinema or Blockbuster?
