Looking toward Cardenas Butte and the Grand Canyon
We're in the shadow
Looking north toward Utah

From the observation walkout. Our last stop before heading home to Sedona. About 4 hours along the rim.

The dark-walled canyon in the distance is more than 1,000 feet deep, deeper than most other canyons in the world, but dwarfed by the 5,000 deep Grand Canyon.
We're in the shadow, waving.
Looking down into Grapevine Gorge

Sunrise over the Grand Canyon on Saturday, March 20
Azami and I camped out in the bed of my Chevy and woke just before sunrise. I look like a marshmallow.
I am not a morning person
However, Azami is a morning person.
