Grand Canyon

April 28, 2009

My bro flew out from Grand Rapids, MI to road trip with us to the Grand Canyon South Rim. Goose woke up Uncle Jon each morning. She was so excited.

Arizona sunrise on the Canyon walls. We woke up at 5:15 a.m. There is no daylight savings in the state of Arizona.


2,000 feet below, the Colorado river rages through rapids. From the rim it looks peaceful and green. All the silt that would make the river brown is up river in the bottom of Lake Powell, above Glen Canyon Dam.

The California Condor just below the rim. Once extinct in the Grand Canyon, it is making its comeback with the help of the National Park system.








Camping with a bonfire. It gets cold at 7,000 feet.
