The Grand Canyon | Grand Trip Out West

(click here to start at the beginning, then click "Newer Post" at the bottom) 

We spent two full days sightseeing at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It really is true that it's impossible to capture the Grand Canyon with a camera. You have to see it for yourself!

Camping among the Ponderosa pines - so beautiful!

This milkshake cost $5. But it was handmade. And we got it at the historic Jacob Lake Inn!

For the love of travel,

    Wow. It's easy to see how tons of water could carve that canyon. The layers of rock are breathtaking!
    Any idea what the difference is between Ponderosa pines and the pines here?
    You know, I think my favorite pic in this batch is the shot of the road surrounded by a slope of pines (picture 09, was it?). Second favorite is pic 16..that slice of Angel's Window with a wide wall of canyon beyond!

    Blessings,
    Zibber
