Today we take it easy. We decide to take the Shuttlebus the whole way to the end, Hermit's Rest. The whole route takes 4 hours, looking at the all the trails into the canyon from above.
At the end, we see the Tovar Hotel, where 2 days ago a guy drove his blue Mazda over the edge of the canyon and committed suicide. The rescuers rappelled down to retrieve the body. They are still figuring out how to get the car out. We couldn't see it, since it probably landed in a grove of trees a few hundred feet down from the rim.
Most of the architecture in the Canyon area is by Mary Colter. She loved rustic stone and log cabins.
We eat dinner at "Cruisers on 66" on historic Route 66. Opting for the economic choice, we get the Family Dinner, with enough BBQ beef and pork ribs and BBQ chicken to last a week, along with coleslaw and Ranch Style beans. The family at the nearby table look at the two of us with amazement, until we explain that we are taking most of it with us as leftovers.
