Trip to Grand Canyon: January 2012

Monday, January 16

It's been a number of years since I've driven to the Grand Canyon, so for MLK Day I decided to take advantage of the free admission and head on up.

Highway 89 next to Wupatki National Monument

Little Colorado Gorge

The wind was so strong here that I had trouble keeping upright. Naturally, I kept my distance from the edge unless there was a railing I could lean against.

Desert View

Tusayan Ruin

Grandview Point

The parking lot here is on a slope and was still slick with snow. It took three attempts to get the car out.
