The drive from Sedona to the Grand Canyon is comparatively brief at about two hours. I deliberate a charging cease at Flagstaff and we additionally picked up some provides at WalMart. We arrived fairly early and had been fortunate to have the ability to get an early check-in at our resort. The employees had been very useful and let me know I might use electrical shops on lamposts of their car parking zone to cost our automobile. I found that the 120v pigtail Tesla provides has a ninety-degree on the plug which turns the cable within the improper course for the recessed sockets. I now know that I ought to carry a brief extension wire with a straight plug for such conditions. We relied once more on the supercharger on the town. We booked three nights to make certain we had time to absorb all of the sights. We waited till the road on the entry gate was comparatively brief, the Nationwide Parks Service has a webcam on their web site so that you can monitor how busy the gates are.

That is the primary time for us to see the Grand Canyon and my large takeaway was how extremely deep it’s. Karen mentioned it’s thoughts bending. It’s very huge as properly at eighteen miles however I’ve by no means seen a sheer cliff a mile tall. It needs to be seen to be believed, pictures can’t categorical the dimensions of the canyon. It jogged my memory of the Wile. E. Coyote and the Roadrunner cartoon, that’s an extended approach to fall.

Tusayan the place we’re staying is 6,612 ft, the south rim of te Canyon is 7,000 ft. I observed that my respiratory has grow to be tougher. On the finish of this street journey sequence of posts I’ll element the info from my Fitbit which exhibits that my respiration and resting coronary heart fee has elevated and oxygen saturation decreased.
