Should have been lots of snow on the Peaks -- though I don't remember how good of a view you get from the South Rim. "I woke up at 5:00 am and got up so I could watch sunrise over the Canyon. It was both great and disheartening that so few people were out on the overlooks to watch this breathtaking sight." That's the only quiet time, in the season (which is about 11 months long, now). We often camp near Grandview point, and catch the sunrise there. Always wondered what became of you. Now I know. Quite a change from NM! Cheers -- Pete Tillman Rimrock, AZ (about 2.5 hours from S.

I posted a response to you in another section and asked where you live. You live in Arizone. No wonder you summer in NM. Okay when is the one month when it's not the season? And yes, there was a lot of snow on the peaks. It does a desert rat's heart good to see snow. I know we drive tourists crazy in the summer because they're all bitching about the monsoons and we're out dancing in the rain. Hi, Peter, I’m really not stupid, just not reading carefully enough.
