Departing Bryce Canyon for Grand Canyon, AZ. I've flown to Grand Canyon a few times before. The first time was on our way home from the Experimental Aircraft Association's Oshkosh fly-in. After camping near West Yellowstone airport, we headed to Grand Canyon and camped overnight. The next morning, we flew around in the canyon a little, before heading west. That was exciting! This time around, I was careful to plan around the Flight Free zones they put in place many years ago, which now complicate the arrival from the north.

Approaching the Grand Canyon from the north. It's always impressive to me, when approaching the canyon, how it first appears as a tiny line off in the distance, and gradually widens, until it swallows up the airplane with its ten mile width.
