01 Stormy clouds over BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x767)

Heading out Bright Angel Point trail Thursday afternoon

I’ve discovered monsoon season at Grand Canyon’s North Rim doesn’t always mean rain as the big clouds drift over almost within reach.

02 Rain on SR behind Widforss Plateau from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768)

Watching it rain on the South Rim about 11 miles away always provides a great show. And if I go out without a raincoat and it does rain I’ll always get wet.

03 Rainbow over Walhalla Plateau from BAP trailhead NR GRCA NP AZ (755x1024)

If I look to the skies after the rain has passed with sunshine to my back I don’t always get a rainbow, but sometimes is good enough for me.

04 Rainbow over Walhalla Plateau from BAP trailhead NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x594)

When I take a panorama picture it doesn’t always match up quite right, but I’m learning.

05 Evening light on canyon from Grand Lodge NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x757)

The evening light on the canyon walls always changes rapidly and never looks the same twice, no matter how many photos I take.

06 Sunset from Grand Lodge NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x757)

And Rangers always do get paid in sunsets.
