Grand Canyon North Rim & Below

by

Nature nailed it. The Grand Canyon is not just a beautiful view; the canyon entices and tempts. In the Grand Canyon our limits of human sight are tested; look deeper and further. This may lead you to want to feel each layer below your feet; to get down to the roots…to the river; to walk the entire length; to see what lies in the shadows; to know what you are capable of.

Grand Canyon South Rim & Below

by

For our visit to the Grand Canyon we decided to take on the two faces of the North and South Rims. Given the expanse of the canyon (277 miles long by up to 18 miles wide) we decided we needed several days and a break in between rims which would land us in Page, Arizona.

It's been so hot in Seattle even the clouds didn't want to go outside. I wasn't planning a stop at Kerry park the other night, but an earlier glimpse of Mount Rainier on a really clear day convinced me otherwise. I think this is the true sweet spot of the sunset from this viewpoint. A few minutes earlier the mountain was a little brighter, but the reflections off the buildings were too intense. If you wait for the sun to dip below the horizon, the reflection lessens and a little treat comes out, the reflection of the Space Needle in the wall of Golden windows. Hope you enjoy the view 😊 #seattle #spaceneedle #kerrypark #seattleskyline #seattlephotographer
Things that can change in an moment: the weather, your mood, the weather and your mood at the same time. The sun was out for the last time that day. Dark clouds had been building, seemingly b-lining for the sun until it was gone. The world below changed instantly, and alongside the slow brewing storm, our mood which had us inspired to play in the sun spots in the forest, was changed to wanting to curl up inside our tent, find comfort with a little heat lamp and tell stories. A moment is not long but man is it potent. #rainydays #pnwmoods #moodygrams #cloudy #angryclouds
The PNW is so moody sometimes. But I'm gonna let it do it, and embrace it! #pnwmoods #rainyday #rainydays #myst #mystic #forests #pnwparadise
Do you like to camp in the rain? If so, what's your favorite "stuck in the tent card game"? . To be honest, we struggled this past trip. We have an aging tent (12 years old) and the first night we found the rain fly just doesn't cut it in a PNW downpour. The next day we were able to hang a tarp over or tent for added protection, and were able to dry things out. But when the rains started again, it was tough to stay positive. We finally got to get out a little and enjoy the area along the river, which temporarily made the rest wash away. #campingintherain #camping #pnwcamping #ladysglove #mountainstories #camping⛺
Our first year of marriage was full of adventures, challenges, and moments to cherish forever. Happy Anniversary my love, and here's to the year to come, and whatever life brings our way! Hopefully not another marathon 😂 #firstanniversary #capeflattery #washingtonstate #washingtoncoast #sunset #enjoythesunshine
Throwback to three years ago when @louisiana.pearl and I decided to leave the 9-5 world and set off on a course correction that included living in a small trailer, touring the US and Canada, getting married in Iceland, and now pursuing our dreams in the emerald city. A new favorite saying of ours is "Leap! and the net will appear". Here's to you wifey, for walking into the unknown together! #lookintotheabyss #cliffsedge #deadhorsepoint #utahrocks #utahgram
