Again, there’s nothing for me to say about the Grand Canyon. It’s there, it’s huge, and I have more photos of it than I’ll ever need. (I’ve been told that pictures don’t do the Grand Canyon justice, but apparently I felt obligated to try anyhow.) This is just a sampling from our first hike into the canyon.

While our first day there was clear and sunny, the second began with a snowstorm. We stayed on the rim for our next hike. The clouds dissipated quickly, but the snow came back later for about an hour. It made for some rapidly changing vistas and weird cloud effects.

Next: Joshua Tree.
