My beautiful girls and handsom boy watching the sunset at the Grand Canyon.
This was a hawk soaring overhead when we first got to the GC. At first he was lower and closer but I am no quickdraw with the camera.
This is a California Condor who was sitting on a rock about 300 yards down in the GC. Condors originally lived in this area when it was the coast, they moved with the shoreline to California as the ocean receeded (several million years ago they say). The Park Service has reintroduced them to the GC and they are doing well.
Here is a glimps of the Colorado River which was about 4600 ft. below and 5 miles away from where we were. You can see the bridge across the river that hikers use to cross to get to the North Rim, Its only 11 air miles, but 24 foot miles. Jean bought a book telling about all the people who don't make it, usually because they run out of water.
On out way from LV to GC the sun was setting as the moon rose. I hope I got a better picture than this, but you get the idea.
