Wednesday 23rd April our trip took us through the spectacular Oak Canyon and onto Grand Canyon. No matter how much you read about the Grand Canyon or how many photographs you've seen, nothing really prepares you for the sight of it. It is everything, and then some, you expect it to be.
Arthur, still focused and inspirational.
One of the worlds seven natural wonders, it's so startling familiar and iconic you can't take your eyes off it.
The enormity of the Canyon is really hard to appreciate. The Canyon's immensity, the sheer intensity of light and shadow at sunrise or sunset, even its very age, scream for superlatives.
Hard to take your eyes off it.
At about two billion years old - half of the Earth's total life span. The rock at the bottom of the Canyon is some of the oldest exposed rock on the planet.
Two billion years old rock, looks relatively young.
How do you really take it all on board, you don't! We did the South Rim, spectacular views that still left you stunned and irrelevant in nature's journey.
Sunset, the view before dinner, nothing left for desert.
We dined at El Torva, the best restaurant in the village. Maureen and I dined there 36 years ago. It was still just as good.
The final run as the Colorado River runs out of the canyon.
