There were lots of little beggars, but the signs said don't feed them (I saw people doing it though). |

Another great view. I took endless pictures, but none of them did justice to the actual view. |

Hopi House where the Hopi Indian dancers lived. They used to entertain the guests with their dances. We saw some Indians, but missed the dance time both coming and going. |

This building was built in 1914 and blends in with the cliffs. It is a gift shop now. |

This squirrel was sunning himself on the edge of the cliff. |

Couldn't catch the Condors in flight, but got these resting on the cliff. There are 65 Condors in the Grand Canyon. They are very endangered. I was told the first Condor raised by wild parents (in the last 20 years) occurred here just last year. |

The trail surface was very even and smooth. There was only moderate hills. Great walking. |
|
We stopped at the El Tovar Hotel dining room for lunch on our way back. Service was a little slow (they were very crowded), but the food was good. |

We went inside the Hopi House on the way back and saw this demonstration of the way they wove rugs. |
