Grand Canyon NP

A dark sky event along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon gave me a chance to finally see the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet. It’s getting fainter as it heads out of our solar system.

Near Mather Point, there is a space for First Amendment expression. That’s where we met David, an artist who shared three neutral questions or statements that we can use to engage each other about politics, such as “Describe your feelings or reactions to the current state of U.S. politics.” Listen, and you may find common…

That deep ravine opposite Mather Point is the Bright Angel Canyon, marking the most popular trail from the Colorado River up to the North Rim. Afternoon light begins to make the shadows more distinct.

Walking near our campground, we passed this deer grazing in the bushes along the path. Seeing as many people as I’m sure it does, this deer was more curious than afraid of us. We still kept our distance.

Any photo of the Grand Canyon pales before the overwhelming impression that looking out across this view makes on you when you first walk up to the edge.

After arriving at the Grand Canyon, we walked out to Mather Point where you can see people out on a rocky viewpoint taking in the amazing vista.
