Last Friday Barbara and I made a return trip to the Grand Canyon. This time we drove from Williams to the south rim and then headed east to the Desert View Watchtower. As usual, I gave Barbara a geology lesson along the way. The watchtower is visible from the river a mile below as is the El Tovar Hotel. These are the only landmarks that are visible from below until you get to the west end of the canyon, an area known as the Grand Wash Cliffs, where the Grand Canyon Skywalk is located. Barbara and I have visited the canyon numerous times and it never disappoints. One of the most beautiful sights we have ever seen. In fact every time I see the Colorado River below I get goose bumps. Barbara believes it’s because I want to go back again. She’s right, I would love to make a return trip to the river. Only time will tell. But for now I hope you enjoy my photos below. These photos didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped because the forest service was doing a controlled burn in the area, so there is a lot of smoke and haze in the air.
RV There Yet?
