Grand Canyon, AZ ~ South Rim sunrise

We spent the night on the South Rim last evening in one of the Lodge's but unfortunately, there are issues plus a forecast for rain all day so after some deliberation last evening we decided to move on today after sunrise.  Sunrise was another fantastic experience and different from the NOrth Rim because of the cloud cover.  Due to this there was only about 15 minutes of sun on the canyon before it was gone.

 After leaving the North Rim we had to backtrack over Rt 89 through the Vermillion Cliffs and down to the Marble Canyon where we stopped for a short while.  While there we saw rafters and kayakers floating down the Colorado River.
