Thunderstorms from Bright Angel Point - Grand Canyon North Rim (EXPLORE)

This is the view from Bright Angel Point on the North Rim during Arizona monsoon season as a thunderstorm hits the San Francisco Peaks and Flagstaff. Wish I could add a little Ferde Grofe Grand Canyon Suite Cloudburst soundtrack :)

I spent a long weekend hiking, backpacking and camping on the North Rim and down the North Kaibab Trail. hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=417&start=0&EXT=T...

Backpacking the Canyon is always a trade off between weight and equipment. I wish I had brought my tripod to capture some long exposure lightning strikes. They were awesome. Oh well - maybe next year.
