.A nine hour hike back to the top of the trail: Months of inactivity and 20 extra pounds of paunch make for a long trudge.
Nearing the top, I began to encounter day hikers strolling down from above.
Here is one of my fellow hikers this fine sunshining day.
Once on top (and after a lengthy recuperation period), I explored the easterly rim of the Grand Canyon by car. .
. Overnight at Grandview Point; these are the morning photos. .
. So now I was ready to head into Indian country: complete with car, theological library, kitchen, bedroom, office, and bicycle. .
. Here is my side trip to Monument Valley, an awesome accolade to the Almighty. This national park is managed by the Navajo Nation. .
. "And the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle" (Exodus 40). .

..
. The road back up out of Monument Valley features a view of the Res-taurant at the End of the Universe perched at the top of the cliff.Zaphod Beeblebrox, the Maitre' De, was, unfortunately, off duty when I ate there. But they do have excellent mutton and Indian frybread. .
. This Navajo-run campground above Monument Valley brought me many blessings, including a view of this sunset scene, my first shower in several days, and two nails in my tires.Next: From the desert to the snowfields.
