The Big Hole Revisited
I am not sure that we could get tired of the views of the
Grand Canyon. Today was a little
unique. It was partly cloudy. The sun filtering down into the canyon made
for different views. Some areas of the
canyon would be in sunshine while other areas would be shadowed. I doubt our pictures will show the subtleties,
but we took an awful lot of them.
Today we avoided the major crowds by staying away from the
Village and the Visitor Centre. We
explored the eastern end of the South Rim.
It is just as spectacular but a whole lot less people bother to drive
out there…fantastic! Once again, I
cannot list all the superlatives that could describe our experience so I will
not even try. Our memories of this visit
(and maybe the 1000 pictures we took) will last forever.
