We planned this trip with the intent to be on the rim near sunrise, but the weather made that a bust. We got there later in the morning as a result, and just relaxed our way along the south rim. Toward early afternoon there were a few hints of sunshine, but they petered out.
Instead of the clouds breaking up, we got more precipitation in the form of snow flurries, sleet and brief showers. Instead of the brilliant reds of a clear-weather Grand Canyon sunset, we got this misty, muted landscape. The canyon is always the same and always different, which is one reason that we keep going back (having relatives and friends come visit us being another).
