Before getting to this weeks desktop, there's a couple of things I wanted to remind you about.  First, expect the next update to be on time.   Second, the previous weeks wallpaper is always still available by clicking the preview to the left found on this page.  Enjoy!

Above is this weeks free desktop. This weeks shot is back again to one of my favorite places which is showcased here, from northern Arizona, the Grand Canyon National Park - North Rim. I do really enjoy the weeks with shots from Grand Canyon as this is one of my favorite park and having the opportunity to share it with you is something I treasure. To me, it is simply not possible to convey the grandeur of Grand Canyon with words or even photos, the best any of these can do is entice one to visit and see this park in person, as it takes you standing on the edge looking out over this marvel to fully appreciate it. Now, this weeks photo was taken at Point Imperial looking basically south in May 2007. The eastern rim and the Colorado River (which at this point of the park runs right below the eastern rim) are to the left and are close to 10 miles away. If you follow the rim from the left a bit, there appears to be a notch in it. This is the beginning of Little Big Canyon and the mouth of the Little Colorado River whcih is about 12 miles away. Just past the rim, which is part of the park, is where the western border of Navajo Indian Reservation begins. The last thing I wanted to point out here is the prominent feature in the foreground, that pointed rock, just so happens to be Mt. Hayden. I truly find the view from Point Imperial to be amazing, and I have spent hours here just enjoying it (there are benches and I do use them (;). There really are numerous opportunities for staggering views both from the North and South Rims, and there is a big difference between the two. At this park you'll find yourself on a trail literally on the rim, most of the time with no rails or barriers, just air between you and this amazing experience! There are many, many miles of trails to hike and a few 4x4 roads to explore, plus actually being able to venture down into Grand Canyon itself (from either the North or South rim) makes this an unbelieveable experience where you'd be hard pressed to run out of new possibilities for exploration. It is my hope that everyone gets a chance to experience the wonder of this marvel, the Grand Canyon NP is an experience you will not forget.
