Our wonderful lodging arrangement, which is also the same place Caroline and I stayed 13 years ago for our unorthodox honeymoon.

It’s difficult not to stop every 50 feet in this park and take another photo when such spectacular shadows are chasing over the canyon.

We take our leave of the Grand Canyon for this visit of my mother-in-law, but I’m sure we’ll be back.
