SOL Tuesday: Bird’s Eye Views of the Grand Canyon


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?)

  1. 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!

  2. Do 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.
