LA-NO-NYC Road Trip:The Grand Canyon

Becky Smith & Craig Manning are driving from LA to NYC via New Orleans this Christmas. Becky will be sending field notes & photos.
"We reached the Grand Canyon 30 minutes before dark.  Temperature, 25 degrees.  There had been a snowstorm 20 hours before.


"In the Grand Canyon, sunset is crisscrossed with contrails. My fingers are numb within seconds of jumping out of the truck, but I keep taking pictures of the contrails.  When we get back in the truck, we promise ourselves that we will hike down into the Canyon in the next year.  And I still have my big dream -raft trip down the Colorado"--B
