My first view of the Grand Canyon!
Looking across to the mountains back near Flagstaff.
Big.
Looking west from the south rim.
A condor, I think!
The Colorado River is about 8,000 feet below.
Hopi Point, one of the overlooks we hiked to.
Check out how far down in the canyon the mule trail goes.
Hungry ground squirrels!
The sun started to come out - it was beautiful.
This was worth every mile it took to get there.
One of many photos that made Mom nervous!
Looking at some rapids on the river - it was so quiet you could hear them from around 2 miles away!
Beautiful red stone.
Shadows are getting longer as we get closer to sunset.
Mandatory mother & son photo!
A passing shower on the north rim as the sun starts to set.
Longer shadows as the sun lowers and some clouds form.
Looking east from Yaki Point.
The immensity is indescribable.
Sunset colors painted across the canyon.
Sunset over the south rim!
The canyon lit up for just a few minutes.
The sun's last rays peeking out under the clouds.
A beautiful sunset!
The canyon below starts to fall into darkness.
Elk crossing the road!
This was one of the coolest parts of the day.
The bull elk - enormous!
An elk's rump as a farewell to Grand Canyon National Park - what a GREAT day!
