Sounds like a great place to go and visit. I’ll go and check it out someday.
My husband and I just watched the photo show. Very good photography! We have been to Arizona many times.
Wow! These photos are breathtaking! There are so many faces of Grand Canyon. It looks different at different times, different days, different seasons. I love it and I also love Sedona. My sister has a very close connection with Grand Canyon and my husband with Sedona. I love both! One of my first art projects was a painting of the Grand Canyon for my sister. It was very challenging, but I felt like I was a part of it when I finished. Thanks so much for sharing these!
