During our recent trip to Las Vegas, my wife booked us on a trip to the west rim of the Grand Canyon. It was absolutely amazing.
The west rim is on land owned by the Hualapai Tribe, part of their reservation. It’s definitely less crowded that other parts of the Grand Canyon, which made the trip even more special.
And, of course, I was able to photograph some new birds: Ravens (which are everywhere around the canyon) and a Rock Wren.

With the temperature in the 70s, I was able to hike five miles across the Wetlands and photograph lots and lots of birds, including familiar ones and some new faces too.
