Out of compassion for the bandwidth-deprived among us, I have changed my blog page to include only the links to photos instead of the actual images. I can understand how it could be pretty slow after a while for dial up users... My bad!! *slaps self*

Anyway, I thought I'd drop a couple more pics from the AZ trip here...

As we went down the river, we saw quite a few little falls and cascades, but these are a few of the notable ones...

The is Elves Chasm. It was just a short hike in, and it is not a spectacular fall, but it is very beautiful and lush nonetheless. Really the picture does not do it justice as you really don't get the almost magic feel of the place.

On the first or second day, we passed by a spot called Vasey's Paradise. This was named by John Wesley Powell on his first (and THE first) running of the Colorado through the Grand Canyon. Gorgeous.

This is Deer Creek Falls, which we saw on the fourth day of the trip. It was the tallest fall that we saw and very spectacular. Some folks actually climbed up the trail to see the top of the falls, but we decided that we would just take it easy and relax on the rocks near the bottom.

On our second to last day, we stopped at Havasu Canyon, which is very beautiful (the word almost becomes redundant describing the Grand Canyon "well, it's, uh, beautiful!!") This is the area where my friend sprained his ankle, putting a damper on the rest of his trip. There are many falls and cascades here, and the water is tinted a turquoise blue by the minerals in it.
