More from the South Rim

We had a spectacular few days on the south Rim of the Grand Canyon, but the weather kicked up some 50 mile an hour winds and planned on dropping temps into the low teens at night so we have moved south again for some R & R in the sunshine for the last few weeks in the SW.

If you look close at the Angle Bright Trail Photo, you will see the mule team walking down the steep entry beginning at the trail head.

The foot prints in the snow are fresh cougar tracks.

The Grand Canyon at sunset

As we pulled into our site in the GC campground, Gary grabbed the camera to capture a small group of Mule Deer strolling through the site next to ours. No fear as these deer are very accustomed to people. We needed to switch sites as the first site was nothing but mud but our new sit is dry and in full sun, something we need at these higher elevations. And yes, that is snow on the ground, but it was in the mid 50's here in the Grand Canyons Trailer Village. But the trip is all about the canyon and OMG, words and pictures can not tell the story of how you feel the first time you look over the edge.

Granite Dells near Prescott AZ

We started our morning with a nice hike in the huge rocks surrounding our campground (Point of Rocks) just outside of Prescott AZ. It was a nice morning for a short hike to the top with spectacular views of the lake below the campground.

Our day ended with sunset shots of a much larger group of rocks called the Grand Canyon. This shot was our first look at the GC and what a view, WOW!

6100 feet, Prescott is up in the snow line

Today we drove to the town of Prescott high in the mountains. There was snow high in the mountains over 6100 feet, but the weather in Prescott is sunny and warm. We will probably have our first night below 30 tonight. No worries though, it will climb to 60 tomorrow and we are plugged in again so we'll stay warm in the rig.

Alamo Lake State Park

A few days at Alamo Lake gave us our first night on electricity in a month. Funny but we did not miss it. The lake is beautiful and has the animals we missed in our few days in Quartzsite including coyotes and donkeys and lots of hummers in the neighbors feeders. We were in site b8 but our favorite was site B12.
