Oct.7th to 8th--From Cameron we drove 57 miles on State road 64 to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The distance from the North Rim to the South Rim, traveling on Hwy.89, is 212 miles.
The elevation of the South rim averages 7000 feet.
The width of the Grand canyon averages 10 miles.
The South Rim has a depth of 4500-5000 feet.
One of the wonders of the World.
Pictures do not do justice to this masterpiece of nature.
The Desert View Watchtower, built in 1932, rises 70 feet above The South Rim. 
Simply Incredible!
The Watchtower is the highest point on the south Rim.
Murals inside the Watchtower were painted by a Hopi artist.
The Watchtower was built to replicate an ancient Pueblo Tower.
Alvina at The Watchtower.
Old Indian dwelling by The Watchtower.
A list of the Indian Tribes that call the Grand Canyon home.
You have to see it to fully appreciate the magnitude of the Canyon.
Views from the top of the Tower include The Painted Desert and the San Francisco Peaks.
Unbelievable
And again
Our last view of the Canyon as we prepare to leave for Nevada. 
Entering Laughlin, Nevada where we will stay the night at the Riverside Resort and Casino--Great Buffet.
