67°F and rain this morning, going up to 71° today. Radar shows it will probably rain here all day. We'll take it. Unfortunately, the bottom is supposed to fall out again tonight, with temps in the 30s tomorrow. Hoping all that rain doesn't freeze up on us.
We spent a week in the Grand Canyon area back in 2011. We stayed in Flagstaff and drove to The Canyon and other sites every day. It was the first week of June, and it was in the upper 20s and lower 30s every morning when we got up. There was still snow at the top of Mount Elden. By afternoon, it would be around 80° at the South Rim. The 50-60° swing in temperatures every day was quite different for us. We also hiked around Sunset Crater Volcano one day, walked through some ancient Hopi ruins, visited Meteor Crater, and yes ... we even took pictures "standin' on the corner in Winslow Arizona." We really enjoyed our visit there.
