What was to be just a quick jaunt, turned into a couple hour expedition exploring what turned out to be the longest hike in the park. We saw incredible scenery, but this stormy sky kept building. It started pouring buckets just as we reached the parking lot. Perfect timing on that one....
When flying out West from Fla, I like to leave early & arrive with time to explore. (2-3 hour time change helps) This is the edge of dawn as seen from an early morning flight. I can only imagine the incredible view the crew of the space station sees.
