On the way down to Jacob Lake from Page, I ran into some snow. Coincidentally, it was the furthest south I'd been.
The next morning, on May 18th, the cabins looked like this.
After that, I went up to Coyote Buttes, before coming back down through Jacob Lake, through the Kaibab National Forest, to the Grand Canyon.
It was snowing, at high elevation. There had been some bad fires, several years before, and the skeletons of most of the trees were still standing.
As I got closer to the park, the snow quit falling, but evidence of it, and of the previous day's snow (six inches to a foot) was still on the ground.
As you reach the Grand Canyon Lodge, you can't really see the canyon. You park, and walk over to the lodge. You go into the massive lobby, with its huge Navajo rugs hanging, the check-in desk and the big restaurant. Just past the desk, there are some stairs that lead down to a sitting area with a fireplace. From the top of these stairs is your first view of the canyon, through the windows.
These are the cabins available for rent. They don't look very pleasant, but they certainly have location going for them, being right next to the Lodge.
From Point Imperial. That's the Vermillion Cliffs in the distance. That's the same area I drove through, after taking this other picture.
As you can see, the weather was... mixed. Cold, windy, rainy, cloudy, with some sun.
As I left the park and headed back up the Kaibab plateau, the snow closed in again. It was fairly heavy this time, causing some slick roads.

;)
Very pretty light for your canyon views!
I thin I'd like seeing the Canyon in the dead of winter someday...with lots of snow.
with snow
