We were in Amarillo, Texas and heard they had the second largest canyon in the United States. It consists of 18,438 acres. What was nice about it was you could drive down to the canyon floor. We have never been to a canyon so we were impressed. Hopefully we will make it to the Grand Canyon one of these days. Here are some of our pictures.

We stayed in Amarillo 2 days and then headed to Albuquerque, New Mexico. They have an aerial tram that takes you up to Sandia Peak. At an elevation of 10,378 feet the peak has an 11,000 square-mile panoramic view. I was really looking forward to this, but when I called they were shut down for maintenance. Then we found out we could drive up so we decided that is what we would do. The view was pretty could but it probably would have been better in the tram. We also found out they had snow up there.

| The pictures just don't do it justice |
All in all we are enjoying our trip to Arizona, just wish it wasn't so cold. It was down to 33 degrees last night and suppose to be colder tonight. It was warmer in Elkhart this morning than here. Just doesn't seem right. We were suppose to be heading to warmer weather. Hopefully it's coming.
HAPPY TRAILS ED AND LYN
As you get closer to Tucson and Phoenix it will get warmer. Our dream was never to have to use the air conditioner or the heater. We've had to exchange that dream for another. Now it's not to be too hot or too cold. It gets chilly at night but often is "shorts" weather during the day.
