The past couple of days I've been at Grand Canyon. February is a wonderful time to visit, with the crowds months away. While the park is far from empty, at least it's not 3 deep to get t o the railings.
Here in winter, especially at sunrise, I had a feeling of quiet solitude. I was able to be by myself for an hour from twilight through a half hour after sunrise. As the morning brightens and details of the canyon form from murky depths of pre-dawn i am able to let my mind wander, to get a sense of the eons gone by while this magnificent gift was being created.
It's cold, but the sun starts to warm the air as soon as it crests the horizon and bathes the temples below in a golden glow. I think I'll be back to Grand Canyon in the winter again, it might be my favorite time of the year here.
