Return to the Grand Canyon

On the evening of Dec 26, we packed our bags and headed for Flagstaff. We didn't make it till after midnight, but the general mood was good. The next morning we drove through a wooded area up to Grand Canyon, which I last visited in 2009.

This time we went and saw stuff we didn't see in 2009, on account of the whole area being only open to shuttle bus traffic back then. Meaning we'd have to fraternize with plebeians, and we just don't DO that sort of thing.

All pics here.

Last time, we went in July. This time was December, so much colder although also much sunnier and much less people.


My new camera allowed for better focus at long distances.


Have I mentioned that I like dead trees?


Way down there you can see the Colorado river, which over millions of years has created this wonderful landscape.
