Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

Here we are on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon....and YES, snow...Norm was like a kid.....

Jacket.........$50
Shorts.........$20
Snowball.....Priceless!
Although it is not apparent, the North Wall of the canyon rises a thousand feet higher than the South Rim. View on the North Rim at Bright Angel Point We attended an excellent "Park Ranger Talk" here at Walhalla Overlook. At this overlook you get a good view of the Colorado River. From the rim, the river looks puny, yet it averages 300 feet wide.

OK, this is far enough! I'm not stepping back any more!

Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, Utah

We are now in Kanab, Utah. Twelve miles from town lies Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. Navajo sandstone has over time eroded to form coral colored sand dunes.


The sand dunes are a unique and interesting place to hike.... Norm started out first...
The summit.....
Time to relax and enjoy the 360 degree view
