Grand Canyon Photos

OK quick explanation:

We went in a group of 5 (4 of us + guide). The two of us you (should) know. The others are Hideo from Japan (brown jacket) and Lisa from Canada (orange jacket). I think Michael (the tour guide) appears in one photo - pointing something out. When I get a few more mins I'll try to explain some of the pictures and remove similar pictures. I do have some of Portland and Sacramento (I think) that I still need to post, but I'll probably just stick them into the earlier travel post (below). Click on the pic for a full size version. The pictures are (roughly) in reverse chronological order.


There are a couple of lodgings down at the very base of the canyon. The only way of bringing in supplies - and bringing out rubbish, post etc - is by mule. While hiking down into the canyon, we were passed by a couple of mule "convoys". This one I recorded as we took in the sights of "Ooh - Aah Point".



We also saw some indigenous (and wild) wildlife. In order they are: mule deer, elk and rather rough looking mountain sheep who scaled the side of the canyon in a gravity-defying fashion and then decided to lay down for a wee "schleepie". [Sorry for slow loading hi-res pics - no photoshop!]
