It was my first time to the Grand Canyon. There was still a lot of snow on the ground that was left there from two and a half weeks before. We checked into our lodge and then walked to the Grand Canyon and walked along a short trail. Unfortunately, there were some clouds nearby so the canyon wasn't lit up by the sun and the views weren't as majestic as we were hoping. I kind of wanted to do more walking on the trails and maybe even walk into the canyon, but the trails were covered with snow and we didn't have much time there anyway. So, after our walk, we decided to drive to some of the scenic viewpoints. We drove east for a while and stopped at a few places and took some pictures. Then, it looked like the clouds were moving closer and that it was going to start raining soon, so we started heading back. Well, it did start precipitating but it wasn't rain, it was snow. A lot of snow (at least by my Texas standards). We had to drive pretty slowly to stay safe but the snow just kept accumulating. We finally made it back to the room but wondered if we would be able to drive back out to leave the next morning. That night we ate at the nearby cafeteria, which was adequate, and then we went to bed early again, wanting to leave early the next day to get out of the mountains before the next storm came in.
