Welcome to Grand Canyon National Park! Super famous and super impressive. The vast landscape is simply incredible. Besides birds we saw some Mule Deer and tons of Rock Squirrels. I had a lot of fun looking for lizards. The weather was sunny, very windy and quite chilly. Especially if you hike far enough from the parking lots / shuttle stations, the trails are way less crowded than we expected.
