Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Good morning Grand Canyon

01 Morning light on the North Rim from Yavapai Pt SR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768)

I actually got up early enough to get to the rim for, not quite sunrise, my first morning at Grand Canyon.

02 Morning light on Zoroaster Temple from Yavapai Pt SR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768)

However I did see the first light on the canyon walls and temples highlight the reds and golds of the upper most rock layers.

03 Morning light looking E from Yavapai Pt SR GRCA NP AZ (1024x597)

What a way to start the day!

04 Mule deer at Yavapai Pt SR GRCA NP AZ (1024x739)

With a wary greeting by this mule deer buck along the trail back to my truck.

What a view! You got some great photos that morning. I've always wanted to stay in the desert, but I've never made it out there for long enough to camp. If you're ever looking for campgrounds or travel destinations, check out RV123.com. They list RV camper information from all over America. You can find campgrounds, shows, rallies and even dealerships on RV123. Check it out, I think you'll like it.

Those scenes must have been a thrill after so many weeks of not seeing the Canyon. I love the progression. Such beautiful colors. And the buck is not that fearful of you!

Lucky you, Gaelyn! What a glorious sight. The light in your photos is just awesome and the detail in the rocks is amazing. That deer looks like it's slinking away from you.
