"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

In the SnowDid a large chunk of the West Rim Trail right after a huge snow storm. 1st up from the Grotto, absolutely zero people and a perfect blue on white day.

West RimWife dropped me off at the northern trailhead. I actually did not want her to drive the harder part of the dirt road. That increased my hike to 16.3 miles. Did not see a single person until I had hiked 13 miles. After Angels Landing, became very crowded. Started at 7:20 a.m. and ended at 1:50 p.m. Absolutely spectacular.
