MESA VERDE

Off the original path and totally worth it. Finished off the cliff dwellings with a 3 mile hike to some petroglyphs and beers in Durango

Grand Canyon North Rim to Cortez

Continuing our saga of life at 7000ft, here are some vistas headed east. Still adjusting to that altitude on hikes: WHEW!
...oh and yes: we saw the famous Four Corners (hello bonus visit to New Mexico!)

So backing up a little...yeah, it was pretty Grand

So a few days ago, Sean and I hit the Grand Canyon. We did a few quick pics between data deadzones but here is a proper post.
On day one we did the north rim and joined the throngs walking the sidewalk, and enjoyed the views, restrooms and icecream sandwiches.
Second day, after the long drive 'round, we hit the Kaibab Trail down the canyon. It was a nice, cloudy day with lots of wind so even though we started late we made it over 4 miles down and back (about 500ft).
Good times. Good times.
