This trip was mostly Colorado with a quick trip to the Grand Canyon
We were having lunch in Durango, Colorado and the weather came on.
They were calling for rain in Colorado for the next 2 days and Scott suggested we go to the Grand Canyon.
I was almost knocked over as Mary ran to the car to get the map and by sunset we were at the Grand Canyon.
These photos were taken with a Nikon point and shoot camera and no tripod.
