A Condor Encounter
On a solo hike on the Grandview Trail in Grand Canyon National Park, i was on the steep climb back to the rim. Above the uranium mine area, the trail followed a ridge with steep drop-offs. Perched on a ledge right by the drop-off was a California condor. It seemed unconcerned by my close presence and it was kind enough to post for a photo.
The condors are tagged for tracking purposes. this was a spectacular hike (link), but the condor encounter topped it off. From this hike, I continued east to the Lake Powell in Utah, all part of a hiking trip in Arizona, Utah, and Nevada.
