The Very Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon

Vegetation

This was some of the more vibrant vegetation in the area.

The Fog

It was a good thing that we got there early because the weather was not being cooperative, but this fog added special effects in some areas.

The Colorado River

Look in the distance.  That is the longest section of the Colorado River that we saw.  We might have seen more later if it hadn't started to rain.

Desert View

On Thursday, we got up early and headed for the Grand Canyon, entering from the east near Desert View, where this watchtower is.

Cacti

How do you like the spines on these little babies?
