The Travels of the Agnew Family

It was a sunny cool morning when we put sunglasses on Zaph and set out to walk part of the Rim trail. (Zaph had an eye drop before we left the trailer thus the need for the glasses). As usual he attracted a lot of attention and had his picture taken many times --- making him a very happy camper. The portion of the trail we walked was 8 km long resulting in 16 km (we had to walk back) plus there was the kilometre to and from the truck plus the distance walking around the viewing areas. Nice hike. About an hour into the trip the sky clouded over, a couple hours later the snow flurries started. Hopefully there won’t be much accumulation as the plan is to leave in the morning.


Cool dude.




The Bright Angel Trail that we hike the day before.




Someone was more interested in getting his photo taken then looking at the view.




Can you tell it was cold. I had on four layers, a hat and mitts. The pack helped to keep the heat in .... so maybe five layers.


This photo shows the six rock layers starting at the top: Kaibab Limestone - 250 million years ago, Coconino Sandstone - 270 million years ago, Hermit Shale - 280 million years ago, Supai Group - 300 million years ago, Redwall Limestone - 330 million years ago




Zaph liked this park as there was always a stick near by.
