mmechtley:
Zombies chasing me!
mmechtley:
It was cool outside, but delightfully so!
mmechtley:
The pines are just as towering as I remember
mmechtley:
More giant trees
mmechtley:
Taking a seat
mmechtley:
The cabal takes a rest on some rocks in an Aspen stand
mmechtley:
It's that Time Castle tree again! I am pretty sure it was farther up the hill last time
mmechtley:
Yes, definitely up the hill, it has definitely phased since we last saw it
mmechtley:
The view to the south, Flagstaff at the foot of the mountain
mmechtley:
A charming forest path!
mmechtley:
Another large stand of Aspen
mmechtley:
We found this interesting metal box on the way back
mmechtley:
This pipe exited a mysterious stone box with a metal lid
mmechtley:
We tried to wrench the bolts off the box, but they were stuck fast
mmechtley:
Any treasure in here?!
mmechtley:
On the canyon rim near the parking lot, with Archie
mmechtley:
Intrigued by the tentacles
mmechtley:
Archie the sensor squid in a Grand Canyon photo-op!
mmechtley:
Canyon view that the tourists all see
mmechtley:
The skies in Arizona always seem so high - it's one of my favorite things about living here
mmechtley:
A side canyon winds its way down from the North Rim
mmechtley:
The number of geological layers visible here is beautiful
mmechtley:
Hikers on the Bright Angel trail below
mmechtley:
Some amazing sheer cliff faces
mmechtley:
The inner canyon is distinctively colored
mmechtley:
A view to the east - it goes on forever
mmechtley:
All of this worn into a giant mass of rock that hasn't been subducted and recycled in millions of years
mmechtley:
What would you do if you had been traversing a flat, high expanse for weeks and suddenly came upon this?
mmechtley:
Becky and the South Rim, from a small prominence of land
mmechtley:
The river, barely visible between the sheer walls
