Monsoon rains visit the Southwest

It started a little over a week ago at Bryce Canyon with a tease, some dark clouds and just a few drops but within a few days monsoon rains began to fall and it almost felt like the right pattern, rain between 11am and 11pm coming and going often with a little sunshine in between.  I could almost feel my dry skin begin to plump.  Of course anything over 30% humidity feels sticky in the Southwest.  Visitors from the East still suffer from dry cracking lips as they relish the lack of humidity at 80-90°.  It’s a dry heat you know.

hoodoos valley Aquarius Plateau haze clouds Bryce Canyon National Park UtahAfter a couple rather lazy days off I returned to work on an extremely quiet Saturday to an hour at the information desk then presented the 11 am Hoodoo geology talk by Sunset Point overlook.  After lunch I roved the rim for about three hours chasing patches of shade with temps in the low 90s.  Came home beat and exhausted so took a two hour nap, woke at ten and went right back to bed sleeping round the clock.  Stomach was upset so didn’t even eat dinner.

Sunday I didn’t start work until 12:15 and breakfast was comfort food, cinnamon toast and bacon.

pointing to Marble View on mapKnowing I worked only two more days followed by four days off I started to formulate a plan to camp on the Kaibab Plateau in the national forest north of the North Rim Grand Canyon.  The Kaibab National Forest had been closed to recreation for a couple weeks then monsoon rains began and it reopened, but still no campfires.  That’s fine by me.  Destination, Marble View, only 14 miles from pavement on usually decent gravel road, a favorite place to camp, and hopefully watch monsoon rains.  Sent a message to a friend who lives in the triple-digit heat of St. George inviting her to join me and received an immediate YES.  I felt my mood lighten as I made it through the day with two shifts at the information desk and my 9pm evening program about Wildlife at Bryce, a rather large group with several precocious children asking endless questions.  Went home a good kind of tired.

hoodoos haze Bryce Canyon National Park UtahCompare to first shot

The next day after two hours at the information desk followed by a bit of time checking deleting emails, I presented the 2pm Hoodoo geology talk and roved 2 1/2 hours along the rim at 88° mostly talking about the smoky haze, so thick could barely see the Aquarius Plateau 14 miles east.  Hard to say where from with so many fires burning in the west.  I was fried and left two hours early, sick leave.  (Remember, I’m burning up hours so any opportunity without messing up anybody’s schedule I take sick leave.)  Clouds all day teased monsoon rains that didn’t fall until early evening and then only briefly.  It was an early to bed night for an early next day.

And that was Tuesday, my one day early Friday, before a four-day weekend away.  I opened the visitor center wondering if 70% chance of monsoon rains would stop my day at Yovimpa Point, a favorite place to be.  But the rain held off with only a handful of drops and I wore a light jacket until well after noon at the southern end of the plateau and 9100 feet.  Lots of mini geology and fire ecology talks. The smoky haze obscured Navajo Mountain 90 miles to the southeast and almost erased the North Kaibab 100 miles south where I hoped it wouldn’t be smoky the next day.  I took off about an hour early to pack the camper and later a lovely light rain fell, perfect and pleasing with faint thunder in the distance.

Finally, after an hour drive on the rather rough gravel we pulled into Marble View about 4pm.  Hadn’t seen another vehicle on the drive and had the place to ourselves.  Yippee!!

morning light trees House Rock Valley Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaI had to leave Saturday but didn’t rush.  The sky was back to a smoky haze over the House Rock Valley below to the east.  I really thought all the rain would have cleared the air.  I love this summer view as much as the Sonoran Desert in winter.

Then another stop at the North Rim Country Store to visit with Robert and another stop at Jacob Lake Inn for cookie orders from Bryce.  Lunch and a few more groceries in Kanab and finally home six hours later to unpack.

A fantastic four-day vacation where Marble View never disappoints, especially during monsoon rains.

Stormy skies at Marble View

sunset glow Vermilion Cliffs & Navajo Mountain from Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaThe stormy skies at Marble View were a perfect match for my feelings in turmoil, yet ultimately soothed and calmed me down.

meadow forest clouds SR67 South Kaibab National Forest ArizonaThe day began with sunrise at Sunset Crater then onto the Kaibab Plateau and Marble View with a stop at the North Rim Country Store to top off fuel and say hi.  Believe it or not, I drove away without paying but had left my credit card behind.  I didn’t get far along Forest Road (FR) 611 when I realized my stupidity and turned around.  Then back again and it took about an hour from pavement to get to Marble View overlook on the Kaibab National Forest.  One of my favorite places to camp, look for fossils, storm watch, and just hang out.

view South trees storm clouds Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaAfter parking and leveling in the perfect spot for views I let Sierra out and she roamed a little but not too far then hid in the wheel wells for at least an hour.  She was more than ready to get out of the camper but I’m sure found all the smells and textures very different than Yarnell.

trees Marble Canyon storm clouds Marble View Kaibab National Forest Arizona

storm clouds Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaI had the place to myself for a while and only had to share with two other campers.  Storms blew from west to east yet mostly stayed to the north of me.  I love watching and feeling the power of monsoon storms.  It only rained on me a bit yet I heard that Flagstaff was hit with both hail and rain so I left there in time.

trees last light Marble Canyon reverse sunset clouds Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaClouds were too heavy for much of a sunset however rays struck out just before sinking below the horizon to shine on the valley and outline a bit of the walls of Marble Canyon where the Colorado River flows.

view Northeast trees Vermilion Cliffs storm clouds Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaWhile only a light rain fell on and off throughout the day thunder and lightning kept my attention as the storms wrapped around the point to the north and south.  House Rock Valley got hit hard causing flash flooding according to the Flagstaff weather reports.  I like being high and relatively dry at Marble View.

storm House Rock Valley Vermilion Cliffs from Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaSierra only went out briefly first thing in the morning then stayed in the rest of the day.  All that thunder booming might have had something to do with that.  Then when it was almost time to go to bed, windy and slightly raining when I went outside to unplug my electric, and she slips out on my return.  Of course she doesn’t come when called and I decide to go to bed.  When I woke up at 2am and opened the door she was happy to come inside.

rock trees pt Kaibab monocline House Rock Valley Vermilion Cliffs Marble Canyon Navajo Mt from Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaFriday morning again begins with only a few clouds and I get out for a walk.  At the point the view takes in north to south.  Marble Canyon is seen below.  Far off to the left the Vermilion Cliffs rise up and due east is Navajo Mountain about 100 miles away.

Kaibab monocline House Rock Valley Vermilion Cliffs clouds from Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaThe far wall of North Canyon clearly reveals the East Kaibab Monocline.  The east-dipping fold developed between 80-50 million years ago during the uplift of the Kaibab Plateau.

unidentified yellow flowers trees valley from Marble View Kaibab National Forest Arizona

trees Marble Canyon Navajo Mountain clouds from Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaThere is very little soil on this 270 million year old Kaibab limestone making it easy to search for marine fossils.  What flowers grow are stunted almost like being on a tundra.  The wind can be fierce and the trees are twisted and gnarled on this ancient landscape.

trees valley plateau mountain storm clouds from Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaLate in the afternoon storms again rolled from the west.  The last slash of light created a glow to the east.

sunset glow Vermilion Cliffs from Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaI was inside processing sunset photos when the phone call I’ve been waiting for not to happen came through.  Berta passed away peacefully in her sleep.  I posted the above photo on Facebook dedicated to the most amazing woman I’ve known so far.  Then I shut down the whole social media thing knowing there would be a huge response I was not ready to deal with yet.

It was understandably a rough night.  I am so sad for the loss of my best friend, yet I am happy she is gone.  Her family did everything possible to make her comfortable to the end.  And now it is time to grieve and recover.  We will carry her memory to the end of our days.

Sierra on hood of truck Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaIn the morning I let Sierra out and she went wandering down the forest road.  I wondered if I’d ever see her again.  Then about 20 minutes later she returned and curled up on the hood.  I know I need to quit worrying about her, but I do.  I’ve tipped her world upside down.

storm to north Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaMore heavy storms this time dropping hail briefly followed by a steady rain.  Heavy wind picked up from the northwest and the temperature dropped radically.  I spent most of the day indoors and took a few phone shots through the window.

Gaelyn Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaMy last day was mostly clear with some big fluffy clouds to create light and shadow play across the valley below.  I started to make arrangements for the next move, into the park.  I am feeling some mixed emotions about being on the North Rim.

rainbow Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaI could just live right here enjoying the scene through storms, sunshine, or rainbows. Well at least until the snow came.  But it’s time to move into the park and visit the canyon and friends.

Partial solar eclipse from Marble View

August 20-21, 2017

nasa_eclipse_mapAt Grand Canyon I wasn’t in the path of totality for the August 21st solar eclipse so I settled with camping on the Kaibab National Forest at Marble View for a 73.4% partial solar eclipse, and no crowd.

bison jam SR67 North Rim Grand Canyon National Park ArizonaI left work 59 minutes early on my Friday (Sunday August 20) because we were given that time off for viewing the eclipse the next day on my first of three days off.  After a little last minute packing of the camper I hit the road by 5pm and even with a bison jam along the way made it out of the park to Marble View before dark, just barely.

puddle reflection trees FR219 North Kaibab National Forest ArizonaProbably the quickest I’ve driven to Marble View at 25-30/mph on 14 miles of damp gravel roads with dips full of water, a few larger puddles, and on slopes a wee bit of water flowed in the driving tracks.  Truck needs a bath between this and the Crazy Jug puddle two weeks ago.

Partial solar eclipse clouds Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaAlthough it wasn’t really noticeably darker the temperature dropped and the quality of low light was most unusual.  A hawk put up a ruckus, turkey vultures soared far away and way up high, raven announced a fly by, and again hawk sounded not happy at all.

late light clouds Vermilion & Echo Cliffs from Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaAs I processed photos in the camper in the afternoon a patchwork of sunshine and shadows moved across the Marble Platform below.  A storm rolled through bringing gentle and brief rain along with the rumble of thunder.  Can it be cloudy and clear at the same time?

sunset Marble View Kaibab National Forest ArizonaI half expected more rainbows and instead watched a soft sunset.

Marble Plateau Vermilion & Echo Cliffs storm clouds Kaibab National Forest ArizonaMade a quick stop to look at where I was headed across the Marble Plateau, past the Vermilion Cliffs, and on top of Echo Cliffs to Page.

Maybe I’ll be able to experience the next full eclipse in 2024 in the USA.  Or maybe in July 2019 in South America, December 2020 in southern Africa, or April 2023 in Australia.  Wherever I am for any solar eclipse I will always remember Arija.  Known as a nature woman to her friends and family, a long time online friend who lived in Australia and is no longer with us who shared this story in 2012.

“We watched one about 40 years ago with a heap of scientists and students in an open meadow far from the city. The experience was primeval. The guys just concentrated on the sun while I became mostly aware of what was happening in my surroundings and how awesome such an event would have been to primitive people. As the light lessened, the birds headed for their roosting spots, those left behind or slow on the uptake flew with agitated calls as the light grew dim. There were half a dozen horses watching us over the fence, at the full eclipse, when darkness engulfs you like a curtain of death and the temperature drops, they all stampeded as one and the drumming of their receding hooves just added to the breathless eeriness of the moment.  I felt so privileged to have experienced this wonder and know I will not live to see another.  Remember me when you enjoy the next one.”

Hi, I’m Gaelyn, the Geogypsy

I retired after 29 summer seasons as a Park Ranger, traveling solo for 40+ years. My passions include travel, connecting to nature, photography, and sharing stories.

I started exploring US National Parks in 1977 and 20 years later became a seasonal Park Ranger.  I’ve lived full-time in a RV for 30 years working summers and playing winters.  I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow old, other than grow up.

Let’s share our stories.  Here’s more of mine…
