Just a few more snowy vistas before we move along.
The sun stayed out for about an hour and we were able to enjoy the gorgeousness of the forest…
I didn’t want to stand there with hubby so I offered to take his photo…
Finally, the Grand Canyon. Photos cannot capture it. Words cannot describe it.
But us photographers try.
National Geographic writes “the road to the Grand Canyon from the south crosses a gently rising plateau that gives no hint at what is about to unfold. You wonder if you have made a wrong turn. All at once an immense gorge a mile deep and up to 18 miles wide opens up. The scale is so vast that even from the best vantage point only a fraction of the canyon’s 277 miles can be seen”.
It wasn’t long until the clouds and snow took over once again so we headed to the Yavapai Lodge where we spent the night.
We were travelling with another couple so we enjoyed a lovely dinner at the El Tovar Dining Room. It was warm and cozy, the food was good, and we had a view of the rim of the canyon.
We watched people scurrying around outside with hoods and scarves pulled over their heads. We marveled at the snow blowing around and off the roof and made predictions about what we were going to wake up to. Would it be cold, but clear? Or was there going to be a foot of snow blanketing everything?
Once again you have done a wonderful job on the Grand. Loved seeing your hubby in the vastness of what is out there. You are so lucky to have gone at this time, wish I didn’t mind driving in the snow so I could see this also. Will have to live through you. :)
just gorgeous!
Such wonderful images.
Thanks for sharing Barb………….beautiful!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Grand Canyon shots with snow. These are magnificent. Loving following your trip.
I think you did an excellent job of portraying the canyon. I have never been there, but these shots certainly make me want to cross this one off my bucket list soon. What a wonderful trip!
You have truly captured the beauty of the canyon.
