we head to the Grand Canyon and wait for shuttles |

we enjoy the shuttle ride, even if the driver has a low tolerance for talking |

we get split up, so there is time to hang around |

out on rock |

yes, I confirm, this is rock, not stone |

the acid test |

the switch backs near the top of the Kaibab trail |

finally a straight away |

before the fall |

I feel your pain |

cross bedding |

actually not as bad as it looked! |

watch your step |

hero shot |

lessons |

the ever studious andrew |

the look out |

the power house |

the pensive |

one third of the way down |

waiting on a pretty corner |

we descend |

looking for chicks on the tonto platform |

descending the ridge |

it is a long way down |

don't ever run on trails |

mystic descent |

do you think we can fly? |

Toby checks out the shale |

cactus flower view of the canyon |

don't touch the thistle |

I tell you, eat herbs |

crossing to Cedar point |

where we study |

and pose |

some people refuse to leave cedar point |

the donkey |

the climb |

water on the climb |

shade on the climb |

last cutbacks |

we wander between shuttles |

lessons on faults |

the ever studious andrew |

intruding granite |

very old rocks! |

more lessons |

a condor on wing |
