Hazy Pics From Northern Arizona
From my trip last week to Kaibab National Forest. There was a wildfire near Flagstaff that gave these images a somewhat ethereal look.
From The Kaibab National Forest
The Kaibab National Forest near the North Rim of The Grand Canyon is a welcome relief from the scorching heat in the desert below. This sub-alpine ecosystem has life and views of nearby Marble Canyon in Northern Arizona.

Lightning Captured!
It’s not easy to capture lightning strikes but I was able to capture a few near Marble Canyon in Northern Arizona. The monsoon season is in full swing and storms are prevalent in the area during summer.

Lee’s Ferry/Vermilion Cliffs
Lee’s Ferry in Northern Arizona, is known as a launching point for Colorado River rafters and other interesting rock formations. Vermilion Cliffs National Monument and the California Condor are nearby. Lee’s Ferry is the only place to access the Colorado River by vehicle for hundreds of miles. It’s named after John Doyle Lee, a Mormon Pioneer, who was later convicted and executed for his part in the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre in Utah in 1877.
Funky rocks are the highlight at Cliff Dwellers, adjacent to Lee’s Ferry.
California Condors cruise at Vermilion Cliffs.
Marble Canyon
Marble Canyon in Northern Arizona, precedes the Grand Canyon but is just as grand. Named by John Wesley Powell because he thought the limestone in the canyon walls resembled marble. Marble Canyon begins at Lees Ferry, a launching point for river rafters, and ends at the confluence of the Little Colorado River and Colorado River.

But they’re all good, especially the light from a setting sun.
