Good morning from the Grand Canyon 😊

The Science News piece dropped the same day I climbed back out of the Grand Canyon - I've been spending the last few days running astronomy programs at the Bright Angel and Havasupai campgrounds, and using this month's full Moon to talk about lunar geology, the ethics of mining the Moon, and more!
Moonrise next to a portion of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, as seen from a ledge on the edge of the Tonto Plateau on the South Rim. The moon has just risen above the edge of the cliffs. The Moon is full. It's extremely beautiful Post author standing on a ledge over the Grand Canyon. The Colorado River is just barely visible on the right. The basement rocks are on the right, while thick layers of sandstone are visible on the left. The view looking up at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon from halfway up on the Tonto Trail. The big red walls of the Redwall Limsteone are visible above thick layers of standstone. Selfie of the post author on the South Kaibab trail, wearing thick sunglasses and a hat for sun protection, and carrying a large pack for camping. The North Rim of the canyon is visible in the background.

Walking up through The Cockscomb just west of the Paria River in southern Utah. These rocks were steeply tilted by the formation of the East Kaibab Monocline, so you're walking back through time as you hike upwards.

Hey, kids! How do you want your mashed potatoes? With creamed chicken? A lamb chop? Soup? It’s a mashed potato bonanza!
Once again we wonder where they source the babies for the Baby Soup? Factory farmed or free range?

Day three at the Grand Canyon.

Up at dark o’clock to start my big hike: down the South Kaibab trail, across the Tonto trail and up the Bright Angel trail.

I’ve done the South Kaibab/Bright Angel hike in both April/May and October/November. It was always such an unforgettable experience. It’s definitely one of the most challenging (and rewarding) hikes I’ve ever done.

Grand Canyon National Park otsreodpnS6t81l5539g80051aalg0mu7704090am4c827 4 6g h gt1828g1cf · News Release—Grand Canyon National Park Update on Dragon Bravo Fire The Dragon Bravo Fire on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park exhibited extreme and volatile fire behavior the evening of July 12, resulting in a 500-acre expansion. Fire managers have confirmed the loss of the Grand Canyon Lodge and numerous historic cabins in the developed area. On July 12, at approximately 10:30 p.m., fire activity intensified rapidly, fueled by sustained winds of 20 mph and gusts reaching up to 40 mph. Firefighters made significant efforts overnight to slow the fire’s progression under dangerous and fast-changing conditions. Aerial bucket drops were conducted to slow fire movement near the Grand Canyon Lodge and Transept Canyon. However, the use of aerial retardant was not feasible due to a chlorine gas leak at the water treatment facility, which required the evacuation of firefighting personnel from critical zones nearby. Preliminary assessments indicate that between 50 to 80 structures have been lost, including NPS administrative buildings and visitor facilities. No injuries or loss of life have been reported, and all staff and residents were successfully evacuated prior to the fire’s escalation. The fire is being managed with an aggressive full suppression strategy. Fire behavior is still very active, driven by hot temperatures, low relative humidity, and continued strong wind gusts. On July 13, fire managers began ordering retardant drops on the east side of the developed area, including the Roaring Springs drainage, as suppression efforts continue. With continued active fire behavior and ongoing risks to personnel and infrastructure, the North Rim will remain closed to all visitor access for the remainder of the 2025 season. Additionally, all inner canyon corridor trails, campgrounds, and associated areas are closed until further notice, including: ➡️North Kaiba…

Ashford’s Cross Country Trek Day 2: Grand Canyon!

Got to hike down the South Kaibab Trail on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon! And in classic Ashford fashion, my dumbass thought it was looped back. 5 miles, 3,500ft down, had the realization that it does not go in a loop. Still, amazing hike, 10/10

The Dragon Bravo Fire on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon has now grown to almost 95,000 acres. Managers have dropped official containment to 4% as extremely dry conditions drive the fire across the Kaibab Plateau. This is a view of the wildfire's massive smoke plume from the South Rim on Tuesday.

Spring to Xmas 1997. Long time. It was still Babbitts. We actually implemented and set up the hiker stations at Bright Angel and Kaibab trailheads. Too many casualties the previous summer so Park Service and Babbitts tried to educate hikers about danger. None on our watch so it was a positive.
