Great pics, looks like you're a stringer for Arizona Highways!

The only down side to kilting at the Grand Canyon is UPDRAFT!

Lovely photos. It's been thirteen years since I last visited the Grand Canyon, your photos are causing me to think it's time to consider another visit.

The only thing better than the view of the canyon from the top, is the one from the river. Travel down river a couple of miles, and your lost in God's Time. One of the best weeks of my life was spent rafting through the canyon.

Great Pics, should you do a canyon side kilt, keep your nieghbors in mind. It's not that far!

I've got this exact same picture (near as) in my photos only mine is dated November 1979.

A true compliment! However, I shoot digital only, and AZ Highways will not accept digital photos. They accept large format film only. Wonder what they'll do when no one shoots film anymore? Already there is nothing you can do with large format film that you can't do with large format digital cameras. AZ Highways needs to catch up to the rest of us in the 21st century...

Great kilt pics everbody! When are they going to fill in that ditch?

Being Arizona, they'd be more likely to build a new dam and turn it into a lake...

I've flown over the GC a few times but have never seen it at ground level. From the air you can really see how vast it is.
I hope to get there one day, as well as to Hoover Dam, to enjoy the majesty of it all. Until then, I'm glad that I can enjoy your photos!
