Desert, January 2004

After spending Christmas in Grand Junction, Nancy needed to head back to Ithaca to continue teaching. I decided to go visit my mom in Tucson and avoid the snow and cold.

Grand Canyon, 1
On the way to Tucson, we stopped at the Grand Canyon, which is absolutely spectacular.

Grand Canyon, 3
I now have this as my desktop. The bottom is so incredibly far away.

Finger Rock Canyon
We hiked into this canyon just north of Tucson.

Casey in Saguaro National Park
This is me in Saguaro National Park. The saguaros are much taller than they look ihn this image. The one on the right with all the arms is 25 to 30 feet tall (even taller than me!).
