Grand Canyon with Snow

Sunday, January 4, 2009






HUG ME!!!

Winter condition in Grand Canyon is actually very trecherous. We're at South Rim today, just driving through highway 180 was a dangerous undertaking, as many people stopped on the side of the road, to enjoy a little snow play. Why people ignore on-coming traffic on a busy, icy road is beyond me.

Once we're at Grand Canyon, the condition didn't get better. The Rim Trail was very icy, with many people slipping on the ice covered trail. The road to Hermit's Rest was closed due to fresh overnight snow. That's too bad, because I was hoping to get to Hermit's Rest, and enjoy sitting in front of that big fire place they have to warm me up... Maybe next time.
