Days Fourteen through Sixteen – Forest Solitude
Just a short drive south of the Grand Canyon National Park, we pulled into the Tusayan Forest Service campground to look around. The campground was quite large and spread out. The campsites were in a dry Ponderosa Pine forest with very little underbrush. Surprisingly there were only a few other campers scattered among the various loops on the hillside. We pulled in to a site that would great for our rig and stepped out of the truck. The air was fragrant with the scent of pine, the temperature was a comfortable 75 degrees, and birds were chirping in the trees. It didn’t take more than a glance at each other to decide this would be camp for a few days.
Often when we travel we move to a new camp each day as we ramble along. However, periodically it feels good to settle in one spot for a few days. It gives us a chance to rest, relax, and in this case sort through hundreds of photos from the Grand Canyon to narrow them down to a few for the the blog. It isn’t something we plan, but rather the site presents itself as a good place to pause and reflect. Tusayan did just that.
Great place to stop and rest!
