Aspen trees struggle to keep their colors during autumn at Kaibab National Forest, Arizona.

Back To The Future

A drive through. the Kaibab National Forest and North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park reveals new growth Aspen trees, old growth and recently fire-damaged in the park. The young Aspens at beginning of video grew after a fire there some 20 years ago. Lots of the old growth were not damaged but the Aspens inside the park were heavily damaged along with pines. The Aspens should start to bounce back in a few years and eventually look like the young Aspens at the start of this video in about 20 years.

A shout out to all those firefighters that fought to contain the devastating fire which also claimed the 100 year old Grand Canyon Lodge.

Grand Canyon National Park Is Not Just A Giant Lifeless Abyss

On the plateau surrounding the Grand Canyon, wildlife and wildflowers abound. It’s this part of Grand Canyon National Park that doesn’t make the cover of National Geographic but has a more subliminal charm.

Monsoon Madness

Fall Colors Have Arrived

At the Kaibab National Forest, adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park’s North Rim.  At an elevation between eight to 9,000 feet, Autumn arrives early.  The Aspens were just beginning to change colors and should be at full color around the first of October. But small pockets couldn’t wait.

One Amazing Little Rainbow

Caught this rainbow dancing along the desert floor near Marble Canyon at Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. It played with the monsoonal clouds passing through to provide some abstract images. A time lapse video of this rainbow and surrounding storms will follow soon.  These images are available as prints or downloadable files for personal use at Dawn2dawnPhotography.com
