When we woke up and went out, we saw the results of the night before when the fountain had been closed
before we went to breakfast
and Suzanne
and I
noted the day's paper
as we ordered our meals
and admired the grand canyon hot sauce
before we began our walk down the Bright Angel Trail noting the views
and the warnings
as we made our way through the first tunnel
and then met the kid who had insulted us for resting along the way
as we came upon the second tunnel
and looked through it to the rock formation ahead
before heading back up the trail
watching clouds form over the North Rim
and grow with each picture
even as the views continued to be stunning
the clouds were growing
but that didn't keep these folks from sitting on the edge
as Suzanne approached
and we came to the first tunnel which made us feel that we'd make it up safely
before the clouds took over the sky
which didn't keep this woman from climbing where the signs warned against
and so we made the top
and looked over towards the El Tovar
before stopping in the Lodge where there was the Harvey museum with this sign for the collection
these statues
with description
and the original menu.
After capturing this license plate for the collection
we recorded our position on the rim trail
and the view
before recording our path back towards the beginning of time
with a break to get warned by the ranger
before proceeding back in time
|
with a break to explain the time line
before it continued
and the views were marvelous
as we took these selfies
and these that show how far we had come down
and the trail we had taken
before we were back going towards the dawn of time
|
with a view break
and more dawn of time transit
|
before my camera batteries died and so I had to see the scenery with my eyes before some recharging in time tos ee the beginnings of sunset
as we stopped at the El Tovar porch for a snack
on these lovely plates
as Suzanne had her drink
and this was mine
before we broke to see the sunset developing
including this photo of Suzanne with background
as the sky developed
|
before someone took this photo of us in front of the sunset
and then we saw the sun set against a beautiful sky and went off to have dinner.
