We spent the greater part of this day driving around the Grand Canyon's north rim and taking various short hikes to several spectacular views. Thank God for some of our presidents of the late 19th and 20th centuries, who preserved these National Parks as part of "America's Best Idea." We are blessed to have so much to see in our own country!
I'd like to describe how big these vertical plates were, which look similar to the back of a stegosaurus, but are probably 500 feet tall from the tops to where the trees start, but I simply don't have the words.
Thank you, President Teddy Roosevelt, for doing your part to preserve this place. "Leave it as it is. You cannot improve on it." (As a consultant by profession, there is very little in the world where I see things that cannot and should not be improved. In this case, he had it 100% correct.)

I don't have the words....
Kim and I both spent several minutes trying to capture the right image of this really neat tree standing near the edge of the canyon. How did we do?
After a long day of walking around, this was one of our last stops.
We ended the day back at our cabin, watching deer walk by and playing some games. The Grand Canyon is truly breathtaking. No place has ever made me just gaze at nature's amazing power and wonder like this place.
