Grand Canyon Part 1

The day slips away while we watch from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon near the Tovar lodge.

Heavy Weather at Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde

We went to see the Cliff Palace ruins at Mesa Verde and were with the last group going that day. The ranger almost cancelled it because of threatening weather but we all begged her to go and she finally relented. The weather came though and we all waited under one of the huge rock over hangs as lightning strikes lit the darkened sky and filled the canyon with crashing thunder. It was an awesome display and added to the atmosphere of the place.
