Happy 4th of July from Grand Canyon

Sego lily, paintbrush and lupine

Here’s nature’s red, white and blue decorations found on the Kaibab Plateau. (Thanks for the idea Tom.)

No fireworks allowed here, thank goodness or the forest would probably burn around us. And although I do miss the colorful light show I don’t miss the noise and smell. This afternoon we’ll have a parade where water is shot instead.

Happy 4th of July!

Be safe and sane but have fun too.

4th of July Parade at Grand Canyon National Park

The Grand Canyon Lodge decked out for the occasion, and was signed as a dry zone. Check out the parade here...
