Anniversary at the El Tovar

Snowed all day at the rim, cold, windy, 5-layer weather. Memorial evening out on the 23rd at the El Tovar hotel at the South Rim, originally staffed with "Harvey Girls," when the railroad first brought tourists to visit the big empty in the early 1900s.

Grand Canyon Redux

Now that we have a good internet connection here in Silver City, NM, it's timely to add a few of my favorites from east of Yaki Point.

Mimi on the edge

With an ever-lurking squirrel awaiting the core.

The Abyss

The day was warm and calm on our hike from The Abyss to Pima Point.


And we found our own vista with requisite overhang (3,000 feet straight off!) a bit off the user trail system.

Kaibab & Pipe Creek Vista

A nice spot to hang out and enjoy the views.

And that's where the mules go up and down the South Kaibab Trail!


Nice socks! Are we ready to hike?

Airing It Out

No wonder it is called Hermit's Rest

Arrived At The Rim

What a view! Isn't she a beauty!?

A lot of perspectives from the edge.

When You Really Need It

Cheap, at any price, here at Furnace Creek, Death Valley.

Portend of the future?
