In the upper right corner of today’s photo you can barely see three little people. The guy dangling his feet over the edge of the Grand Canyon I don’t know. The other two are my kids.

Today’s photo (a 12-photo photomerge actually) is from our New Year’s Eve hike down Bright Angel Trail after snow fell during the night. We didn’t go all the way down, not even close. But this was a spectacular trail even with limited visibility, and the trail probably wasn’t as crowded as it is much of the time.

The tunnel tree we visited in 2013 fell over during this past Sunday’s storm. Of the three tunnel trees, only the Clothespin Tree remains.

For perspective, my kids were each over 6′ tall when this photo was taken.
