Got to go to the North Rim!



From Navajo Bridge

 I got the opportunity to go to the North Rim for orientation and training for work. So I can actually tell visitors what the North Rim is like, and what's over there for them to do, and to see how their operation runs. Boondoggle? Maybe. Awesome? Absolutely.

At Lee's Ferry

Ty, dabbling toes in the Colorado River

Elyssa, also couldn't pass up the chance to step in the river

Possibly one of the most intense hail storms I've been in. Got to see water in the washes!

Kaibab Squirrels are actually quite cute, and kinda weird looking. White tails.

Look! the Grand Canyon!

Me! In front of the Grand Canyon!

One of the reasons I'm not interested in camping on the N. Rim: Lightning. In the campground. 

Island in the Sky!

Aptly named Island in the Sky. Can't wait to get out there and poke around.

Walhalla Glade. I'm sorry, but our ruin is way cooler.

We all tried throwing the atlatl, and Jessica showed us her metate.

less fog...

succinct, and I feel appropriate. This sign might actually deter people from marring or defacing?

Blurry, but that's my halo! Spectre Drocket?

Angel's Window

My new favorite viewpoint- Imperial Point.

They have a kickass sign.

This is where they release condors!

I love moss.

Grand Canyon- yesterday

This is a perspective from where Tim and I are going to get married

I like it in color, but I think the B&W is a smidgen neater looking.

It was rather hazy yesterday. Which is the way it gets in the summer, especially during our fire season. It really makes the stair steps of the different side canyons stick out though. It's what I think of when I think of the canyon.

The Colorado River

I got selected to go on the Colorado River for 3 days. We launched at Lee's Ferry, camped along the way, and then I hiked out from Phantom Ranch.
