Grand Canyon archaeology exhibit plus

On 5/10/11 I took a drive up to the Grand Canyon to take some pics and to check out the opening of a new exhibit in the Kolb Studio on the recent archaeology that they had done in the canyon. Dawn Kish took most of the photos for the exhibit which is pretty cool and you should check it out if you can.
Here are some links to the show...

I was originally thinking about running down to the bottom of the canyon and back, but I got lazy (and the sleet and snow on the drive up worried me and I wasn't sure how long it would take). I ended up driving to desert view and checking out the watchtower there (pretty cool even if we weren't allowed onto the roof) and taking a heap of pictures there and from the overlooks on the way back to the GC village. The stormy weather over the north rim was pretty cool, but the clouds just sort of thickened up towards the sunset so that was a bit disappointing.Still, if you want to get a nice sunset you need to get out when there is a chance, but it doesn't always pan out.
