More pics of the Grand Canyon

We just received another disks of photos from Michael, one of Noor's hiking buddies. The following are some of my favorite pics.


Checking the map...now where are we?


The river was so muddy this year they couldn't filter water out of it to drink.


But they enjoyed beautiful arches...


...and tranquil waters.



If you look closely, you can see Noor scrambling up the side of the rocks.


It was so steep in some places they had to repel down. Fortunately Noor is a good rock climber and showed the others how it is done.


He's also the master of a good nap.


The group counts on him for great dinners as well. Here he is busy putting something good together.
