Yaki Point overlook is a great spot to view the canyon from. I like the view looking east with Whonton Throne and Vishnu Temple nearby. In the dark looking down at the South Kaibab Trail especially during summer you can see the hikers headlights. This is my 13th year driving at the canyon, never...

Same shot but about 25 hours later. Moon over Cape Royal instead of the notch and much darker but no clouds blocking the moon.

One of the bigger bulls I saw during this year’s rut. Not as many bulls this year and never saw or heard any bulls challenging each other for the cows. They seemed to be low T or something. There were at least 2 bulls that got hit by park visitors during the rut this year.

Retired OTR warriors, parked next to the retired Orlando motel, in the mostly retired town of Thruxton, Az. Off Route 66.

Double rainbow into the Grand Canyon after a much needed monsoon rain storm.

Some Big Horns hanging out @ Grand Canyon Village. Had to wait for them to move onto the sidewalk so I could pull into the bus stop.

I’ve used “base camp, Grand Canyon” in my signature for about 12 years now, since I live in a rv and it felt like I was always camping, well maybe glamping. 😎

Bryce Canyon?

Wild Burros around Oatman, Az. on Route 66.

Road signs around Seligman Az. On Route 66. Replicas of the Old Burma Shave signs. Probably 20 or more sets going East and West.
