Photography became increasingly difficult and a major contribution to that was not changing the ISO setting on my camera.  It was also a blessing that it became dark and thus cooled down from the 100 plus degree day we experienced.  Later on, somewhat past 11 PM, we could see lights in the distance which were along the Colorado River.  Although we could not see the river, we made a hard right hand turn and crossed the river on a large bridge.  We moved past the bridge a half mile or so and came to a stop.  It was too good to be true that we were finally in Parker Arizona.  Most people were anxious to get off the Grand Canyon Limited for the night.  I had booked myself at the Blue Water Resort 2 miles distant from our stopping point.

If you made it this far, why don't you come back soon and experience day 2 of the Grand Canyon Limited train?

NOTE:  As of June 23th, days 1, 2 and 3 are active.  Check back each week for updates.
