A Few More Scenes From The Grand Canyon N.P. South Rim
Going west along the Canyon Rim from the Visitor Center require taking a Park shuttle bus. The bus operates during daylight hours and they run every 10-15 minutes and stop at all the Vista Points. This allows you to visit the various points at you leisure. Normal round trip is 2-4 hours and the furthest stop is at Hermit's Rest. There is a small gift store and small deli, restrooms etc. at this stop.

Great set, Jim! The snow enhances the shots, but I know that it made your part difficult.

This is an absolutely beautiful set Jim! It is a wonderful time to visit, thanks for taking us along.
Nice pictures. It's been about 3 years since we were last there. We need to go back.

You obviously had a good time and shared some great photos with us. Thank you for sharing your great shots.
So majestic and beautiful.
A beautiful set, Jim! Last time I was there with snow on the ground we broke icecicles off the canyon wall on the trail on the way down. Warm and sunny at the bottom!
Grand views so nicely photographed, jederick.
