With sadness we left Las Vegas this morning and headed back to Arizona -- the site of the blizzard on our way to Vegas. The closer we got to Flagstaff, the deeper the snow. It took us about 5 hours to finally reach the Grand Canyon. Because of the one hour time change, we arrived in time to watch the shadows of the sun climb the canyon walls. Again some absolutely spectacular scenery. The walkways at the canyon were covered with snow and we watched several people tumble on the ice. Getting to the edge of the observation areas was quite tricky, but well worth the effort.
Regrettably, because of the time it takes to get to the canyon, it was too late to take advantage of the scenic drives or other overlooks.
After leaving the Canyon, we headed back to Flagstaff for the night -- none of the snow has melted!!!
