Although the weather was not cooperative, we had a wonderful experience, primarily because of our witty, informative tour guide, Chris. The clouds opened up at the Grand View location, and the vistas were Awesome! Sunshine, mixed with shadows gave remarkable color saturation throughout the canyon. Chris' presentations on the Indian culture, flora, fauna, and legends of Northern Arizona were interesting, informative, and often touched with appropriate humor. Snowflakes and rainbows inside the canyon provided unexpected, delightful surprises. A memorable experience that we will never forget.
