There’s no point in even bothering to try to take a picture of the Grand Canyon, so here’s Lee’s Ferry:

L and I just got back from a lovely week circling the Four Corners. We saw:

• Aspens turning where the head of the La Plata River meets the feet of the San Juan Mountains
• Ruins in the Dolores Valley, where the Anasazi toiled in the shadows of Mesa Verde and get no respect because of their cliff-dwelling kin
• The old orchard at Lee’s Ferry, a wonderment on the flood plain of the Paria – a blooming desert
• The Grand Canyon
