The Grand Canyon in Snow February 18-19th 2011. My friend Neal and myself drove to the Grand Canyon on Feb 18th. It snowed a little that night but we were able to drive to Hermits Rest in the morning. At 10:30 AM it started coming down and roads started getting closed. I got a picture of Joelle who works at Hermits Rest for the Park Service. She served us Hot Chocolate in snowy weather. There were only four people at Hermits Rest when the road was closed. We had to leave sooner that we wanted as Neal and I were the last to leave Hermits Rest. The drive back was very pretty along the road and impossible to see to the canyon floor. It was a novel day for us two people from Phoenix.
