Meeting bloggers at Grand Canyon

01 Annie & Roxanne on store porch NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x678)

This has been a fun summer of meeting bloggers at Grand Canyon who visit the North Rim.  Annie and Roxanne from The Good Luck Duck keep me laughing as they travel in their RV complete with compost toilet, yup that’s right.  They’ve been boondocking in the Kaibab National Forest.  When I read on their blog that they were hanging out by the campstore, where there’s WIFI, I went looking for them.  We had a brief visit and I’m hoping to show them around some more come my weekend.

You just can’t go wrong visiting Grand Canyon, especially the mellow North Rim.  I love sharing this place through my photos but wish you could all come for a visit and see it for yourselves.  There’s really no comparison to the real deal.

Seeing Grand Canyon between the rain

01 Vulture flying over the canyon from Cape Royal NR GRCA NP AZ (640x1024)

Who wants to see the canyon on a clear blue sky day with no shadows and a flat landscape, unless you’re a bird.

02 View SE from Cape Royal NR GRCA NP AZ pano (1024x518)

Cooking one’s brains during the middle of a hot sun baked day doesn’t appeal to me near as much as under cool clouds.

03 View SW down Clear Creek drainage from Cape Royal NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x678)

Listening to the thunder as the dark clouds roll in.

04 Rain over canyon from Walhalla overlook NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x678)

Trying to capture the elusive lightning.

05 Rain over canyon from Walhalla overlook NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x678)

Feeling the cool breeze that precedes perhaps a few much needed drops of rain.

06 View S from Point Imperial NR GRCA NP AZ pano (1024x314)

And best of all, sharing it with friends.  Geri and Chuck from phunnyfarm are visiting and I’m so enjoying sharing the canyon’s moods with them.
