The snowy weather made traveling (and canyon viewing!) difficult at times, but when the clouds occasionally lifted from the canyon, the sights were truly spectacular!
We began our trip with a snowy walk along the rim trail, catching occasional views of the canyon through the fog:
 |
| Canyon? What Canyon? |
 |
| Oh, there it is! |
 |
| Winter Wonderland |
 |
| Stumpy the Octopus |
After checking into the Bright Angel Lodge, we walked down to the Mule Barn to say hello to the mules; we also caught sight of the cutest baby deer ever! Then we walked along the Rim Trail again out to Maricopa Point to get a few sunset shots.
After a good dinner, a French movie, and a restful night's sleep, we caught the Hiker's Express shuttle to the South Kaibab Trailhead and made it down a little past Cedar Ridge on the snowy trail!
It was fun to see the Grand Canyon in the snow, and we are thankful for a safe trip through the winter weather!
