Here's some photos from my trip last week. I had already uploaded them all to Yahoo before I saw that somd.com now has a photo gallery. Guess next time I'll try it out.
Two things I must say:
1. Seeing the Grand Canyon is a humbling experience.
2. I was surprised at the amount of vegetation. I walked off the plane in Phoenix figuring I'd see nothing but desert sand outside the city limits. I was surprised by not only the amount of shrubbery but by the large quantity of trees (though they weren't very tall). Although there were lots of cacti, this definitely isn't the desert you see in the movies - that must be some other part of the southwest.
Enjoy!

in the early '90s, we were stationed in Yuma, AZ & we took a roadtrip to the Grand Canyon one Christmas --- absolutely breathtaking.
