Grand

We spent the day in Grand Canyon National Park, and it was soooo cool. The landscape is astonishing. It's hard to even imagine the eons & eons that passed while that muddy, 300 foot wide, Colorado River carved a canyon ten miles across (with a little help from the wind and the rain.



Don't let people tell you about the crowds at the Grand Canyon in the summer. We've braved Yosemite in peak season. The Grand Canyon was cake.



There are about 150 wild California Condors in the whoooole world, and this one swooped down so low over us at one point that I swear I could have touched it with a good ladder. Here it is considerably higher. A TEN FOOT WING SPAN, PEOPLE!



We went on a fascinating geology walk led by a park ranger -- we love that kinda thing -- and learned about those intriguing layers of rock and color.



I know I always say it, but it's always true: pictures can't do it justice. At least mine can't.



Love, love, love.

It was a great day.
