Grand Canyon’s Desert View. Historic Tower by the great Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter. Colorado River. Raven. The most dangerous animal in Grand Canyon. It sends the most number of people to the hospital by acting cute. You can easily get your nose/finger bitten off..don’t be fooled by its cuteness. Elks outside my hall. Wildlife is grand. The elks are really human-shy but the mule deers are not. Don’t ever try to be funny with the mule deer. There was once around 11pm when I was walking back to the hall with my girlfriends…we came face-to-face with an adult mule deer. We tried sneaking behind it because it was blocking our only way..but it sensed us straight away and wanted to attack us since it obviously felt threatened. So we had to shut up immediately and stay perfectly still to avoid any attacks. Close shave man. The flagship restaurant/hotel and the best place for fine dining in Grand Canyon - the El Tovar. The little black speck you see is a condor - and it’s no joke. The condor’s wings are like 2 freaking metres in length and it’s FREAKING GRAND AND HUGE. It’s very fast though so it’s really hard to capture their beauty. It’s soooooo graceful but it’s also quite an ugly bird…looks kind of like a vulture. However, you just can’t help but go ‘wowwwwww’ and drop your jaw when one of them flies over your head with their majestic wings. Unique car plates in the US. The different states all have different designs. Wildlife on the trail. Totally not prepared for hiking on the Bright Angel Trail. I nearly slipped to my death on my flimsy sandals. One of the many magnificent condors.
