My kind of country!

My kind of country!

Twelve years ago that was what I saw every night on my way to work.

I was the auditor for the El Tovar Hotel on the south rim. Prior to that I worked at the Grand Canyon Lodge on the north rim.

In the winter of 2001 I had the rare joy of seeing the northern lights over the canyon for about 2 hours. It is a light I will never forget.

Those of us who worked at the canyon had a saying;

“The job doesn’t pay much, but look at the back yard !”
