The Grand Canyon---June 2010

DSC00792

Walked up to the ledge overlooking this amazingly beautiful view and was awestruck.  I drive up into the parking lot, go through the Visitors Center and don’t appreciate exactly where I am until we take a little walk and get to this point.  Breathtaking.  Can’t take those pictures fast enough.  To some folks this may be old hat stuff, but to this old country boy from the flatlands of Kentucky, this is a Big Deal….

That little stream above doesn’t look like much, but it is actually a Class VI rapids…over a mile below our position.

One of the walking trails around the rim. 

Photos do not do this place justice, especially with this beautiful weather, but these few will give one an idea of the grandeur of this place.

Tomorrow we start over to Zion NP, Utah.  Our Creator certainly made a beautiful world for his creatures to enjoy.
