phoenix arizona && jumpstreet! :D

after the canyon we packed up on friday and headed off to phoenix. at 111 it was the hottest weather i had ever been in. dinner at "el pollo loco" [the crazy chicken] was yummy before going to jumpstreet. if you havent heard of it, check this out.

so tuesday we moved on the the grand canyon. we camped three nights there which felt like a short lifetime after almost a week on the road. friday we took a six mile hike down into the canyon. though i wasnt thrilled at the idea, it turned out to be an amazing experience! check out this gorgeous photography^^
