Our hotel is perched right on the edge of the Copper Canyon (Barrancos del Cobre). We arrived just before sunset last evening. The moment we stepped out on our balcony and saw the canyon our long bus ride was quickly forgotten. The canyon makes everything seem just a little more special. Depending on your sources Copper Canyon can be considered bigger than the Grand Canyon. Regardless, it is BIG! Today we got some hiking in. It seems that every time you turn a corner you see something just a little different. Ray went out for a morning run and made a new friend—a dog. There are tons of stray dogs here. They are very friendly. His buddy followed him out and back. I think Ray is going to sneak him a few pieces of bacon after breakfast tomorrow😄 Of course, the highlight of the day was the ZipRider. It's 2545 meters long and has a registered speed of 135 km/h. It was a bit scary when you first drop into the Canyon, but within seconds it was so cool to be gliding across Copper Canyon—Just hanging in the air. Loving Copper Canyon. Stay Safe. You are Always in My Prayers. Love Mom.

When I first went over the edge on the zip line I was scared for about 1 second before I realized it was safely holding me.

Ray is the adventuresome one…I am never sorry about the cool things he talks me into. He is really good at pushing me out of my comfort zone.

We zip lined into the canyon and then only had to hike up a couple of miles to reach the cable car. Once we were at the top we hiked a couple more miles around the rim.

Our hotel was right on the rim of the canyon so we could look out right over the canyon. That was cool too.

I was definitely more worried about it the night before than when we actually did it…because it was so amazing once I felt safe.
