Day 53 - South Rim
Tuesday September 29th 2009. Went to the Chapel of the Holy Cross in the morning (when it was actually open this time), continued north, climbed a few thousand feet, paused at Oak Creek Canyon, which was high enough to be forested, passed through forests and plains to reach the south rim of Grand Canyon at 7000' /2130m, very disappointed by the mass of tarmac and millions of loud tourists but managed to find a secluded spot to watch a lovely sunset over the canyon, spent a fitful night sleeping in the car while police arrested other people in the carpark.
