Grand Canyon Desert Lookout
Posted by Ellie on Tuesday Apr 5, 2011 Under TravelsOn April 2nd my family and I went to the Desert Lookout. On the way there we saw elk. We saw a big herd of 28 elk.
A herd of elk
They were big, brown, tall, furry, and had a white rump. We kept on driving and saw more elk.
When arrived at the Desert View and went to the Visitor Center. We looked at books and then we left to go to the Desert Lookout. We walked to the Desert Lookout. When we got there we ran into the Lookout and started our journey to the top. We kept on walking till we got to the top of the Lookout. When we got to to the top you could see the Colorado river. You could also see part of the Grand Canyon. We stayed up there for a good view.

When we got down we looked in the gift shop. Then me and my mom went to look in a different gift shop. I found a water bottle that I loved. I got to get it. And there was a mountain lion in the gift shop!
We finally saw a mountain lion!

Oh FYI Brynn, it’s Colorado, not Coloradop! But yes, it starts in CO and flows through many other states too. Good question!
