Grand Canyon Trip 3 - Pictures

I know that a picture can never capture the grandeur of the Grand Canyon. That said, here a few of my favorites from the trip. Click on them for a larger image.

Grand Canyon Trip 2

Saturday 10:30pm

What a great day!

Micah and I had breakfast in Tuba City and then drove through Moencopi. Both places have changed beyond my recognition in 29 years.

Then it was off to the Grand Canyon.

I can't even try to describe it's awesome beauty. We walked along the rim, amazed at what our eyes were taking in.

I will sleep so good tonight. I will look back on this weekend forever. I have enjoyed this time with my son.

Tomorrow we will head back to Denver. We will probably make some stops along the way.

Good times!

Grand Canyon Trip

Friday 10:00pm

I am in Kayenta, Arizona as I write this. My son Micah and I left Denver at 7:30 this morning for the trip of a lifetime. We go to the Grand Canyon tomorrow.

I have been there before, close to thirty years ago, when my wife and I lived on the Hopi reservation. We lived near Tuba City, Arizona in the village called Moenkopi.

Tomorrow morning Micah and I will have breakfast in Tuba and then drive about an hour and a half to the Canyon.

It's the trip of a lifetime because I get to do it with this son and this time in his life will never come again.

I will always remember it and I hope he will treasure the memories too.

I will get to be there when he has his first view of the vastness of the canyon. I remember my first look. It was the actual feeling of having my breath taken away. We will take pictures but they will never capture what the human eye sees.

So that is what I look forward to. But even more than that, I treasure three days alone with my son. I hope that will be a memory even greater than seeing the Grand Canyon.
