THE GRANDEUR OF GRAND FALLS





















Over the holiday weekend I spent both days visiting Grand Falls, the first day with a friend and the second day with Kevin and our dog, Yoshi. Grand Falls is located on the Navajo Nation about 45 minutes outside of Flagstaff. It is an amazing and very unexpected sight. In the middle of a flat, barren, dusty, treeless, tumbleweed infested desert suddenly appears a great chasm in the earth and in that chasm roars a mighty river with spectacular waterfalls ... but only at certain times. Dry most of the year, this place comes to life in times of good rain and snowfall. It is also surrounded by the softest, finest, black sand dunes I have ever seen. It was definitely worth enduring the ten miles of purely evil dirt road washboards to witness a little of nature's grandeur!
