Grand Canyon



Today we took a train ride to get to the Grand Canyon. While on the train we learned something cool about the California Condor. The wing span can be 9 feet long! We are hoping we will see one at the Canyon.  We arrived at the Grand Canyon and walked around seeing all the beautiful sites. We learned that the canyon is 4000 feet deep. It has many different colored rocks. We saw an area called the bright angel. The canyon is home to some animals: elk, lizards, squirrels, bobcats and coyotes. We did not see the condor! We walked 11714 steps at the canyon. It was hot and windy today when we were walking. After the canyon walk some of us went down to see the Indian paintings on a wall. That was so cool!  When we were done went on the bus. We thought the whole day was great!
