I had to show you how hearty these tree are - this was solid rock that they grow out of.
Us on a windy day. It was a fun day to hike and we made it back to the truck just as the wind and rain came.
The south Kaibab trail that leads into the canyon. We did hike down several switchbacks and then huffed back up. This trail leads into the canyon, across a suspension bridge and then onto Phantom Ranch. The Bright Angel Trail and this trail both offer mule rides which we did NOT do!
A look down the trail - too long for us, we could probably make it down - BUT then there is back up the trail - ha!
Another pretty picture! We left the canyon 1 day early due to horrible weather. On the last night it thundered, lightening and blew up a big storm. The camper was rocking and rolling, the elks outside were bugleing - a way of complaining I think because they sure were making noise. There were tornado warnings coming up toward the canyon so we decided to exit stage left. On our way down to Sedona outside of Flagstaff we saw results of tornados the night before - trucks overturned and in the median, several train cans blown right off the tracks and the worst was a CamperWorld that was selling new campers only the campers were blown and smashed all over. I don't think there was one that was spared. I didn't get pictures because we were too busy watching for tornados. Also there was hail the size of eggs along the road. It was with relief that we made it to Sedona.
