Back at Grand Canyon!

We are back to the Grand Canyon!  We had a short drive and got to Trailer Village in the Grand Canyon a little before noon!  Just after we got set up we had a pretty good thunder, lightning and rain storm.  Fortunately it didn't last too long and we made it over to the Canyon just in time to enjoy some more weather!

We had just gotten to the El Tovar Hotel when it started to rain...pour...gush torrents of water!  The thunder and lightning was right on top of us and then the wind started and it was brrrr cold!  Everyone huddled on the porches and watched the weather!

First the wind stopped, then the rain stopped and the sun came back out.  There were clouds down in the Canyon and they would pop back up, almost like smoke rising from the bottom of the Canyon!  It was really amazing!

When the sun came out everyone got back out to enjoy the Canyon and Ted and I were able to snag a table on the Veranda once they dried everything off!  We had just gotten our glass of wine when the fog rolled in!  It started out of the Canyon and just came up over the edge.  It was eerie and cool!

The fog went away again and the sun came back out so we enjoyed people watching from the veranda at the El Tovar.  It's one of our favorite places to enjoy a million dollar view!

It started getting cold so went shopping.  When we came out of the shop, we saw this beautiful full rainbow!  The ranger told us it's very rare to have a double rainbow that goes all the way down in the Canyon!  My camera could not even come close to capturing the beauty of the rainbow!  People were all gathering, taking pictures and ooing and ahhing!

Enjoying the sights of  the Grand Canyon..."Ain't Life Grand!"
