Grand Canyon’s North Rim – Better Late than Never
The visit to the North Rim happened the end of August. I was in a different place back then when it came to blogging and sharing in 2020. I’m not sure exactly where that place was – I’m guessing somewhere in the suburbs of Lost My Passion, USA. I’m definitely a different person than I […]

Grand Canyon National Park’s Centennial
2019 marks the Grand Canyon’s 100th year as a National Park. Living a few hours away from the South Rim made it easy for me to “drop in” and celebrate (and still be able to do it again)! If you need a excuse to go, then feel free to use the Park’s Centennial as the […]

Grand Canyon Sunrise
I had a chance to visit the Grand Canyon for the sunrise this week. It was early (we left Flagstaff before 5AM), it was cold (20 degrees F with a wind that just went through you), and it was worth it. You can’t go all this way and head right home. So it was time […]

Journey to Beaver Falls
The hike from Mooney Falls down to Beaver Falls may be the best part of hiking in Havasupi (including the every famous Havasu Falls). About three miles separate the two falls, but it takes longer than you would expect. The terrain varies from wading across Havasu Creek a three times, weaving your way around a path covered […]

Havasu Falls – Not Sure I Can Add Anything
I will just completely understate it by saying it is beautiful.

Mooney Falls Comes with Risk
I was blessed to have a friend with an extra permit to stay at the Supai Village Lodge. It was three days and a little less than forty miles of hiking (with a heavy pack, I might add). There were truly wonderful things to see. This should clearly be a bucket list for anyone who […]

Rim to Rim Hiking the Grand Canyon – What I “Knew”
“Why am I doing this?” definitely crossed my mind. It crossed my mind, let’s say, only about every other step on the way up the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. A mere 15 hours after we started! I never set out to break any records. I succeed at that. But I (we) finished! And that […]

Back to the South Rim (Grand Canyon)
As we prepared for the Rim to Rim Hike the next morning, we spent that evening taking in the sights the South Rim has to offer. I’ve been blessed to go there numerous times now, but this was the first time we stayed through sunset – there was always the drive home to consider. I […]

Cooling off at Ribbon Falls (Grand Canyon)
You aren’t getting there but by foot. But there is a little detour to Ribbon Falls from the main trail on you way from one Grand Canyon Rim to the other. Is it worth the extra couple of miles added to the already 23.9 hike from the Bright Angel Trailhead? The short answer is “yes” […]

Grand Canyon in Winter. It speaks for itself!
I have put off writing about the Grand Canyon because I can’t imagine what I could add that hasn’t been said before. But the last two weeks of January left a lot of snow across northern Arizona. I have been there multiple times, but one of the things I felt I needed to see, was the […]
