October 2010 South Kaibab to Bright Angel trip in Grand Canyon

Pictures of a lovely 3 day trip in the Canyon...

North Rim of the Grand Canyon

I'm posting some North Rim of the Canyon pictures b/c so few people get over to the North Rim ...I just came back from a North to South Rim trip of 4 days.

It's the Fall - that means Bryce and Zion Adventures

I love Bryce and Zion National Parks - I've certainly spent enough time hiking and biking in them too (probably 15 or so trips in the area) ...these past several weeks I saw the beginnings of Fall as the aspens turned colors in the high country; the Virgin River Narrows water level was as low as it ever gets allowing my groups to go farther up into the Canyon; and the heat was still on with several days nearing 100.

I also got an opportunity to use my new fully manual Panasonic Lumix camera (i have a long way to go with it too) but I was so frustrated with my Nikon Coolpix - it took way too many blurry pictures and I'm not willing to cart around a SLR camera...so the Panasonic is my test camera...we'll see how the pictures go in the future.
