We camped in Grand Canyon National Park for Easter weekend 2008. The park was full of visitors and the Trailer Village was full every night. On Saturday it was "Archaeology Day" with special activities in the plaza in front of the Canyon View Information Center. [Take note for future visits - March is Archaeology Month.] Priscilla & Richard got to practice archaeology by sifting through a bucket of dirt to find artifacts like pieces of clay pots, pretty stones, seeds, corn cobs, and carbonized pieces of wood. Richard also got to make a little clay pot.

We really enjoyed staying two nights in the park. It allowed us to do & see more than we usually have time for on a one day visit. We rode the shuttle buses to lots of scenic overlooks. We hiked along the rim, and even walked a short way down two of the trails below the rim. We also enjoyed ranger talks & special programs like a "Fossil Walk" and a demonstration of Native American flutes.
