The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is cold - and snowing!
One minute blue skies - one minute, gray
A look-out tower in a forest at 7000 feet (or more)
After a mile-long hike in the snow
I actually climbed the ranger tower - 80 feet up!
I could barely hold on!
(Sorry about the sound!)
The view from the top
Hiking back
So instead of camping,
I stayed in a little (modern) lodge
All the comforts of home -
And then some!
Wish you were here - You would love it!
Did I mention it was snowing -
ReplyDeleteAnd uphill both ways!
WOW. I'm hoping we have seen the last of the snow here. The photos are awesome and I would love to be there someday. :)
ReplyDeleteThis trip looks amazing. One of my Big Dreams is to hike in the Grand Canyon... nothing too severe but a day hike. Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteBrrrr! Please don't bring the snow home with you. It's beautiful and spring-like here!
ReplyDeleteThe fire looks inviting.
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs - Stay warm.
Oh wow, this is beautiful. Love the video. You really could hardly hold on. So dramatic. Incredible trip!
ReplyDeleteDang, nothing like pushing yourself a bit before allowing some comfort!? Love this fireplace too! cozy!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures, Anne. Never would have equated the Grand Canyon with snow, though!
ReplyDeleteJust the North Rim - (and sometimes the South Rim!)
ReplyDeleteBut mostly during windet - very beautiful and cozy in front of a fire, though!
