This is the last day I’m scheduled to work on the Walhalla Plateau. Yet we’re going to try to get back out there again before the season is over in two weeks. What happened to the summer?

Scenic Sunday – Shadows in Grand Canyon

View southeast from Angels Window overlook along the Cape Royal trail
I love the late afternoon views of the Grand Canyon from the Walhalla Plateau. The shadows change rapidly as the sun westers beyond the canyon walls. Then add a few clouds to float above and create patches of shadows that dance across the land.

Sorry the Cliff Springs Trail didn’t get posted today. Ran out of time. Maybe tomorrow.
