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.

MWT – Foggy canyon

 01 Dark clouds & fog above temples, canyon & Widforss Plateau from Lodge NR GRCA NP AZ pano (1024x515)

During summer monsoon season it could rain any day. But the visitors don’t really appreciate the disturbed view of the canyon. Pity for them they can’t just accept the beauty as it comes to them.

02 Widforss Plateau peaks out through fog from Lodge NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768) 

The clouds and fog settled in and brought much needed rain all morning.

03 Clouds & fog over BAP from Bridle trail NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768) 

Then by late afternoon openings provided secret glimpses of the beauty.

 04 Bright Angel Point trail & point shrouded in clouds NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x761)

So I walked onto Bright Angel Point trail.

05 Clouds on temples & SR from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ pano (1024x283)  Found a rock to sit on and soaked in the view changing so fast I could barely capture a given moment.

06 Clouds & fog in Roaring Springs Canyon from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x757) 

Both sides of the ridge displayed the peaceful mood of fog lifting from the heated depths.

07 Clouds on temples, SR & Widforss Plateau from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ pano (1024x386)  Good thing I wasn’t in uniform so nobody stopped to ask questions.

 08 Clouds on temples from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x767)

It’s good to be incognito sometimes.

 09 Fog covering temples from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768)

The canyon slid in and out of view.

 10 Clouds roll over SR into canyon from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x764)

A table cloth of clouds flowed over the South Rim and into the canyon.

 11 Fog rises from Transept Canyon from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ (771x1024)

As some fog rose, more crept in to take its place.

12 Clouds & fog surround the temples from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768) 

I just couldn’t walk away.

 13 Fog enshrouds the temples from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768)

And kept taking more photos.

13 Fog in the canyon from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x406)  Feeling so fortunate to see the canyon, spend time with it. Unlike too many visitors who only stay for a fleeting moment, hours or a couple of days.

14 Raven on snag from BAP trail NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x734) 

When I finally tore myself away at the end of my work day Raven said goodbye to me, but not to the canyon.

Sky Watch Friday - Fog at Grand Canyon National Park


Roaring Springs Canyon
After the great rain storm last week temperatures dropped, even down in the canyon. The next morning we saw fog slowly rising out of the depths.

Today's Grand Canyon View


Or should I say no view. Yes, I am looking down into Roaring Springs Canyon. There’s a lot of disappointed visitors today.

Here’s what you’d normally see. Well, not so fuzzy I suppose, but it was the rising of the Hunter’s Moon before the new camera.

Thanks for all your well wishes during my bout with the flu. Today I’m feeling human, just not 100 percent, yet.
