Heh, arrived on my birthday in mid-June and had lows in the 20s overnight! beautiful country.

Heh, arrived on my birthday in mid-June and had lows in > the 20s overnight! beautiful country. It was my very first trip to the canyon. And, it was a business trip. Two week Grand Canyon business trip. Not bad. I think that the overnight of 20 degrees must have been a bit rough. Last week, it actually got as low as 50ish. But, oh migod, the days were hot. Hot, hot, HOT. The business trip was actually two weeks of National Park Service training in a classroom with no AC. Excrutiating, given that the southwest was experiencing record heat. It was tough. But the trips out to the rim were fabulous. I even did a helicopter tour for the fabulously low price of $16.00. the "H" in the captions indicates that the shot was from the helicopter. I was willing to go up, but the only way I was going down to the river was on a mule. :-) SignatureDi zinkadoodle at gmail dot com www.pbase.com/di > It was my very first trip to the canyon.

I'll bet you were on the south rim, the more popular and more crowded side. Also, much hotter and drier. Mike had been there before and as I hadn't been to the Grand Canyon at all, I was happy to go to either rim. The north rim is a couple thousand feet higher up and therefore much cooler than the south rim. It's also damper, with lots of trees, mostly evergreens. A different microclimate from the south rim, for sure. If you ever get a chance, go again and check out the north rim. It's an amazing difference. > But the trips out to the rim were fabulous.

He ended up paying their hundreds of dollars fee to be helicoptered out, rather than climb back up. Heh, proves once again that you are smarter than he is!

It is a bit crashy but it does amazing effects and is simple to use. It is a fun way to show off your pictures. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com |
