If you’re ever planning to do a vacation that involves a National Park, consider getting the National Parks Pass. We just found out today that the pass we bought when we drove into Rocky Mountain National Park will end up paying for itself on this trip. Granted, we knew that we were planning on coming out here or going to St. Thomas (which has a National Park). The pass cost us around $50 and paid for Rocky Mountain National Park and here at the Canyon, and will also pay for our entrance to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon later this trip (both are around $20). We just found out today that it also lets us into Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where we can check out the lake there. That’s another $10 saved right there.

what are you kids doing? backpacking? Camping out during the evenings? Or possibly re-creating that brady bunch episode where they rode down on mules into the grand canyon?

From Heidi: Yes, we are indeedy recreating that Brady Bunch episode, but we are including elements from the one where they go to Hawaii, and Peter gets a cursed idol. We may hurl the idol off the back of a donkey if he brays too much.
Actually, we are having fun despite the fact that it snowed all day today. We’d thought we left snow back in CT, but apparently it follows us.
