beautiful), North rim of the GC, Bryce NP, Arches NP, and Canyonlands

Now that's covering some Ground! To bad you missed Walnut Canyon Nat. Park.
Interesting Indian Ruins and ~ 1/2 way between Meteor Crater and Flagstaff.

The Grand Canyon is something you have to experience in person. No
picture will ever do it justice.


Yep and you did it right by going to the North Rim. There's the
Afternoon Tour Bus onslaught from Vegas, but otherwise at least when my Wife
and I were there in '01 or '02 it was like a small town.

The hoodoos in Bryce Canyon NP were pretty spectacular. Haven't been to
Chiricahua. Where is it?

Ok Where are the Pictures of the HooDoos? This is a Binaries group
after all! ;-)
Chiricahua National Monument is located towards the Northern end of
the Chiricahua Mountains. ~ 90+ miles East of Tucson, S.E. Of Willcox and ~
30 or so miles E of me ;-).

I see. We were thinking of going to Phoenix to visit an old friend of
Dorothy, but dorothy does not respond well to heat, so we stayed up in
the North where it was cooler. It was rainy and foggy for a number of
days - kind of like the Midwest.

I'll see if I can rustle up some pics to post.

This Weekend we might hit 100. For the most part we're 15+ degrees
cooler than Phoenix and 10 cooler than Tucson. I'm sitting at ~4700 feet.
Chiricahua Nat. Mon. is ~8K+ feet.

I see! Height helps. Well, if we get that way again, we'll stay in the
upper elevations.

Barring inversions or unusual weather conditions expect ~4 or 5 degrees F
per 1000' of elevation change.
