Grand Canyon
Parker and I arrived at the Grand Canyon just before sunset. Not sure words or pictures can capture the actual view. Our first glimpse of the Canyon was through the picture windows at the Grand Canyon Lodge. See below. "Majestic" was definitely the word of the day.
Our cabin is pretty rustic, but it had a fireplace that we kept on all night. It actually dropped into the 50's on the North Rim. The projected highs for the base of the canyon are 110 so it's a huge temperature difference!
We got up to watch the sunrise at Bright Angel Point. Did devotions on the deck overlooking the Canyon. We'll ride mules today. And hopefully catch the sunset at Point Imperial.
I'll keep twittering updates, but Internet access is spotty so blogging is tough.
Here are a few pictures.

You are in my favorite spot in the world. Enjoy!
PS- Finally had Lou Malnati's pizza at the Taste of Chicago this weekend. Good stuff ;)
Majestic indeed!
If your cabin is the one in the pictures, that's pretty impressive too!
Pastor Mark,
I know there is a classical piece of music called the Grand Canyon Suite I forget the composer but the braying of the mules figure stongly in the piece
