Grand Canyon Day 1

On Tuesday we got on the bus to go to South Kaibab Trail. We saw a rock squirrel. We did not do all of it, but we made it down to Ooh Aah Point. We started at over 7,000 feet and dropped 760 feet.  Once we made it up to the bus stop, we saw the Mules. Once we got on the bus we got off at the next stop to have a look around. The stop was Yaki Point. After we finished at Yaki Point we got back on the bus and got off at Pipe Creek Vista. From Pipe Creek Vista we walked down to Mather Point along the rim route. At Mather Point we went saw Colorado River. We only saw a little of the Colorado River. After that we went to the Yavapai Geology Museum. A ranger did a talk there. His talk was about the rocks at Grand Canyon outside the Museum. His talk was very interesting.

Tahuna Torea

Yesterday Karl, Mama and I went to Tahuna Torea Reserve to look and walk around. We saw a couple of fantails on the way down to the carpark from the Godwit's lookout. Karl and I were playing Zombies vs Humans while we were walking along the tracks and Mama was our navigator.

We also saw lots of trees there including Nikau Palm, Kowhai, Kauri, Tree Ferns, Manuka, Mangrove, Pohutakawa, Flax and many others. The weather was fine and I had a marvelous time.
