After a wet afternoon, the sun came out briefly and we had our supper in the North Rim Lodge dining room. The atmosphere was great, the meal not so much. It was nice sleeping at 9,000 feet again - cool temps.
This morning the sunrise was spectacular and I got a few pictures below:

As geological features go, the big attraction for the Grand Canyon is its grand size. Unfortunately these days that size is also a disadvantage. The air pollution in the canyon makes those distant rim views pretty hazy. So the smaller canyons of Zion and Bryce are far more spectacular in my mind just because there is less haze to peer through.
No room at the inn tonight so we move on to a needed motel for the night and then on toward the four corners area. Probably no more updates until Tuesday or Wednesday.

Your pictures of the canyon are beautiful! We're settling back into life sans mountains....it just isn't the same!
All the best to you,
