One of our friends from Boston had come over and we were planning to visit some place and we decided to visit Grand Canyon for two days. I had a busy sunday completing all my project work and assignments so that i could leave on sunday night with my friends for Grand Canyon. It is surprising that when i have deadlines and i am working towards finishing it, my productivity increases manifold. I was free at 8:30pm with all work done and ready to leave. We hit the freeway at around 10pm and reached the canyons at 5 in the morning. We booked a room for ourselves in Holiday Inn and slept till 10am. Got ready and left for visiting the various points in the Canyons. Visited the Yavapai point, Grand View point and did a 2 mile trek on that day from Hermit’s Rest point. The trek was well maintained and it was fun trekking after a long time. We were pretty tired from the trek and hungry too. We had dinner at McDonald’s. We were considering rafting for tuesday but we were saddened by the part that rafting is only allowed in the Colorado River from Mar 15th till Oct 31st. Still, keeping the spirits high, we decided on trekking for the next day too. We woke up around 10am and checked out of the hotel and driving towards Desert View where we get to see a panaromic view of the Grand Canyons. The view was awesome and some of the pictures i took are amazing. You can check the pictures in my photo gallery. We started trekking at around 1 in the afternoon on the Tanner Trail which is an un-maintained path and the trek was really steep but it was adventurous. We drove back home starting at 4pm from there and reached home at around 11pm. All in all a wonderful trip with great friends. A much needed break is what i wanted to start studying in full for my upcoming final exams starting next week. Here’s wishing me luck with my finals. Have a great Thanksgiving break. Stay Happy
