The One Where I Went To The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is on everyone's Arizona list but staying at Cameron Trading Post and entering from the East Rim makes it even more special! #GrandCanyon #CameronTradingPost #Arizona #GrandCanyonNationalPark #DiscoverArizona #VisitArizona #ArizonaTravel #GrandCanyonNPS #GrandCanyonSouthRim #GrandCanyonEastRim #GrandCanyonArizona #ArizonaHiking #ArizonaLife #ExploreArizona #RoadTrip #TravelGram #TravelBlogger #TravelBloggerVibes #ColoradoRiver #TravelAddiction #Wanderlust #USATravel 

Cameron Trading Post and The Grand Canyon East Rim The Grand Canyon is on most Arizona itineraries. Obviously, it’s because it’s incredible. After visiting Tucson, Sedona, Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe Bend, the Grand Canyon was the final square on my Arizona Bingo card. I chose the off-the-beaten-path East Rim entrance so I could experience Desert View Road. Additionally, this route was more…

Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon, Lake Powell, Page My Arizona adventure continued up north – starting from Tucson, through Sedona, past Tuba City, and finally in Page. My most northern Arizona stop was filled with natural beauty. The Colorado River is the main character here and thus began my personal tour of her phases and stages. After Antelope Canyon I headed to Glen Canyon.  Here I found…

NavajoLand Hotel, Tuba Trading Post, Dixie’s Antelope Canyon Antelope Canyon has been on my Bucket List for years. As soon as I started planning my Arizona itinerary I knew I had to go.

The Saguaro Obsession Is Real! On my recent trip to Arizona I fell in love with the Saguaro cactus. The giant Saguaro (the largest cacti you’ll find in the US) are just absolutely captivating!

For all these reasons it’s easy to see why they’re the natural symbol of the…
