Americas Treasures: The Grand Canyon Part II

The Grand Canyon is a place that should be on everyone's bucket list. I ended up there in February 2014 on my way back to the east coast driving a Nissan Quest pickup truck with a U Haul trailer behind it. My son, his wife and daughter were in a sedan heading across country via the same route. I am the kind of driver who gets in the car and only stops for gasoline. Well that is not a good way to travel with a little one. Eventually I would part ways with them and travel at my own pace. But before that happened, we stopped and reveled in beauty. That evening we were in the Monument Valley. An hour before getting to the Grand Canyon we were in 80 degree weather and the air conditioning was running. We got to the canyon and it was cold and snow started to fall. I vividly remember heading out as giant flakes were falling. What a crazy experience, but it proves that elevation matters. Anyway, enjoy these please, the first series are here.



If I had Photoshop skills this would be the one to play with


Love that hint of the river in the background


The first shot is slightly to the right of this one


Can you tell I was taken with this perspective?


Love the reds


Old habits die hard, I always want to turn the camera sideways

Wish I could swing by and check it out today. Hope you all enjoyed these, those are my best shots from the Grand Canyon.
