Elk seems to be our wildlife of choice this trip! This one stopped traffic in Canyon Village for literally hours! Eventually several rangers came and shooed him away...we regretfully said goodbye to the Grand Canyon yesterday afternoon, after an invigorating hike around a portion of the 12-mile rim trail, followed by a scrumptious lunch (prickly pear quesadillas) at El Tovar, the oldest canyon hotel (as opposed to lodge, not that we ever found out the difference) built in 1905. Didn't make it too far--about 60 miles to Williams, AZ where we set up temporary residence on Cataract Lake in the Kaibab National Forest. Have also made two visits to a great coffee shop in town, where we brushed our teeth, and had coffee (naturally) and Lil' Orbit donuts. Don't laugh, they're the only donuts we've ever had that don't land like lead in your stomach! Now we're on to Las Vegas where we've booked our first hotel of the trip (come on, it's Maggie's first time in Las Vegas!)--we're staying at the Luxor, right on the Strip, should be a riot! We're also going to try to pick up some same day Cirque de Soleil tickets--wish us luck!
