On the way to Grand Canyon, you have to drive through miles and miles of desert. This is what most of it looked like. We saw signs for "10,000 acres for sale, $695/acre."

The next morning we saw our first sunrise over the canyon. Jane enjoys getting up early for a scenic view.

Lots more to see as we drove around. This hill was called Red Butte, and had many dead trees around it. (Of course they're dead... there's NO WATER!)

The canyon in mid-day light is still colorful, but pollution has drifted in and the skies are a bit hazy.

Near the East Rim, a smaller river but still interesting scenery (and warning signs). And is this the wreckage from the movie "Thelma and Louise?"

Several elk wandered behind our hotel at night, and in the early morning. Jane also saw a coyote.

Sunset at the Grand Canyon. It drew a round of applause from the spectators.

This is about as close as Bob gets to "life on the edge." But the two people in the other pictures got a little closer to the edge of their lives. Apparently they didn't read the signs, with the international "sliding down a cliff" symbol...

Bob and Jane leave their shadows on the canyon walls.

And on the final day of our visit, a helicopter tour. This is really the only way to grasp the scale of the Grand Canyon.
