This was the perfect SOL for last
Tuesday, when my daughter and I were on a Road Scholar tour of the Grand
Canyon. The day started with a flyover of the canyon in a tiny DC6, and
proceeded to long walks and a visit to the Geology Museum in Grand Canyon
Village, and by the end of the day I was too exhausted to write. So here it is
today. Maybe I’ll do another one for today if an opportunity presents.
Our
little plane had maybe 12 people (and there was another plane with the rest of our group) and everyone had a window seat. Here is a
shadow of our plane as we took off from Grand Canyon Airport (“since 1927” and
they offer helicopter flights as well).
But it's taking a really long time to upload the videos to this blog, so I'll just add a couple more amazing, awesome, unbelievable—adjectives just don't do it justice—photos of what we saw. And I can't figure out how to move the photos so they are next to each other, so that's why layout looks so silly. (Any other Blogger users out there who know the trick?)

Thank you for sharing your pictures. I've wanted to visit the Grand Canyon, but have yet to fit a vist in. It looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDo go! And when you go, try to fit in a visit to the Heard Museum in Phoenix. It has a whole anthropological section on the Native American tribes that lives in the southwest, their clothing, homes, crafts, etc.
