Flagstaff/Grand Canyon
We will be passing thru Flagstaff next May during the middle of the week after memorial day. Will be there for three nights so we will have two full days to explore. We were thinking maybe stay in Fla...

Or you could go to Grand Falls - on the Navajo Rez east of Flag. Most people in the area never heard of it (even stopped at a store on the reservation and only one person in there heard of it out of about 15).
It is - from top to bottom - higher than Niagara and it is wider than Niagara. It is spectacular.
But the falls are only there when the river is running after a storm or snow melt.
The road, actually an Indian hwy goes right across the river bottom most of the time as it is dry river bed. When flowing, you have to turn around and go back.
We went there right after we left being snowed in at the Grand Canyon; drove up from Sedona.
Amazing. I want to go back but not sure how to time it perfectly again!
You can see images I took of it at www.LaurenBarbara.com Wanderings link on left and then Arizona and Grand Falls. It is also known as The Chocolate Falls and you will see why.
In the same area of the website you can see my images of the Grand Canyon - even my winter shots which I love and kinda shows what can happen at times. Also another link to the Grand Canyon not in winter.
And, if you are interested in Monument Valley - which we also love - you can see photos of that as well.
I have put together an 8 minute youtube video of the Grand Canyon - half in good weather and half in the snow. Music by Enya and Bill Douglas. When you want the 8 minutes of quiet time to enjoy, go to

These are wonderful places not to hurry through just to say you have been there.
