Grand Canyon Update

Today marks the end of week one since the park opened. There are 200 people learning new jobs, so things are crazy at times. Here I am heading off to work; no I have not joined the LDS church:)

Monday both Sherri and I were off and we went out to Point Imperial and Cape Royal, a great drive up to 8800' and fabulous views to the east.

Tuesday and Wednesday saw more snow and cold. Wednesday was a blizzard most of the day and 5" of snow on the ground. I posted snow pictures last week so I won't bore you with more snow pictures, you will just have to believe me that it was nasty. On a lighter note I did have a couple of people ask me were they could get refunds. They were upset that they had paid a park entrance fee and could not see into the Canyon. I was laughing inside but I diplomatically explained that the NPS was in charge of entrance fees.
This morning my start time was 7:00am and this picture I took while on my way.

Beautiful!!! The final picture is of where I work, in the gift shop. It's a very nice store and this is just a part of it. Tomorrow, Sunday, both Sherri and I are off and we are planning on hiking into the Canyon.
