Grand Canyon with the Lippards

We spent two different days with Tom & Marilyn at Grand Canyon. The first day we stopped to see the IMAX movie at the visitors center, then went into the park.


We stopped at tow or three overlooks, then looked over our shoulders at a massive thunderstorm coming in. It hit, with rain turning to hail. Ended up with 2-3 inches of hail on the ground.






A snowball fight at Grand Canyon in late fall? You bet.

After the storm let up, we decided to go back to Flagstaff and the RV. Driving back we went through areas where the hailstorm had left several inches on the road. Memories of Buffalo winters.






The second day was much brighter, but still chilly.

We were able to take the shuttle busses from the central village to the eastern end of the road and worked our way back.




There's no question that Grand Canyon is one of the most awesome venues in the country.
