I arrived Flagstaff, AZ at night of Day 36. I had a take out dinner from McDonalds in the Hotel. On the next day morning (Day 37), I wait for the shuttle van that I booked for my trip to Grand Canyon National Park.
I studied the map to understand how I should start.
At Hermit Rest, I took a bus that ply on 'red' route. I had to transfer to another bus that ply on 'blue' route. It is because it brings me to Grand Canyon Vistor Centre. At Grand Canyon Visitor Centre, I need to transfer to another bus that ply on 'yellow' route. Finally, I reached Yaki Point. Being eager to cover as much as I can, I went to South Kaibab Trailhead. I feel good and energetic. I walked to Mather Point. I took the two buses back to my accommodation.
After a dinner, I went to sleep early in hope to catch the sunrise!
I was there at 5am, waiting for the sunrise. I was surprised a large group of Japanese joined us to observe sunrise.
When I am already at accommodation, I re-sleep again in the morning - I need some mind rest.
I woke up in the late morning. I realized that it was snowing slightly. It is my first time to see snow!
I have a lot of hours to burn. Therefore, I hiked a slightly difficult route, Bright Angel Trail - it is descending the mountain.

I took greyhound bus at Los Angeles. It is about two days road trip. You will know where my final stop was at.
The above picture is my pride as I was able to capture modern windmills like that. 2 years ago, I saw them at evening but I failed to capture due to lack of light environment.
