Fishing Bridge Campground,
We started the day late, the kids all woke up close to 9am. Our first stop was the visitor center to get some information on hikes here in the park. There is so much to do.

We drove to several other viewpoints on both the south and north rim of the canyon, and just couldn’t get enough of the fantastic view. The kids were getting a bit restless and we did not want them to go to sleep as late as yesterday, so we drove back to the campground area and had supper near Pelican Creek.
At the campground we got the children ready for bed by 8:30, and I went out for a jog. It was amazing that at this late hour the sun was still in the sky. I ran along the river trail, worried about encountering bears along the way. I only saw hikers on the path though.
Just in case, on the way to the campground we bought Bear Spray, a $45 canister of something that you are supposed to spray on a bear’s face if it attacks you. Most chances are we won’t need to use it, but it will feel good to have it handy here in bear country. Kind of like a nuclear bomb.
Good night,
