These pictures are from my trip to Sedona, AZ., in October. A day trip was made to the Grand Canyon, South Rim. The sights were breath-taking and more pictures will be posted later.

Canyon View From Hermits Rest Gate
Hermits Rest, the westernmost viewpoint, and the Hermit Trail that descends from it were named for the "hermit" Louis Boucher, a 19th-century French-Canadian prospector who had a number of mining claims and a roughly built home down in the canyon. Canyon views from here include Hermit Rapids and the towering cliffs of the Supai and Redwall formations. The stone building at Hermits Rest sells curios and refreshments and -- more important -- has the only restrooms on Hermit Road.
