Grand Canyon

I think one of the things I am going to do this year is put together an actual "bucket list". I have some notion of a few things I would like to do. For instance I would like to camp/raft the Grand Canyon with my son and father (take my wife to Hawaii and the kids on an Alaskan Cruise).

While I have visited 49 of the 50 states, I still haven't been to the Grand Canyon. I feel a sort of reverence for this wonderful site that precludes me from doing a quick look in and leave sort of trip. I want to go and really experience the Canyon. So when I came across this video from the end of November I was enthralled. It turns out on November 29th the Grand Canyon experienced a rare temperature inversion where cool air began to rise from the bottom of the canyon and the canyon filled with fog.   

The attached stop motion video demonstrates this rarely captured change in weather at the Grand Canyon and I think shows you why I love this Canyon so much. 

I do wonder though if a bucket list filled with grand adventures is really the best way to go about doing things, perhaps I need to spend some time filing the bucket with small yet meaningful events as well. Just a thought. I'll let you know what I decide after I finish writing up my list. Until then please add your ideas to the list on my FB page or add your comment here.
