Before getting to this weeks desktop, there's a couple of things I wanted to remind you about.  First, expect the next update on the 17th, right on time.  I think I've got a handle on my other sites and can stay on track with the updates here.  (:   Second, the previous weeks wallpaper is always still available by clicking the preview to the left found on this page.  Enjoy!

Above is this weeks free desktop.  This weeks shot takes us back to one of my favorite places which gets showcased here, from northern Arizona, back again to the Grand Canyon National Park - North Rim.  I really do enjoy the weeks which feature shots from Grand Canyon, not simply because it's one of the top parks in America, or that my experiences here are ones I enjoy remembering while preparing the photo, but because it give me the opportunity to highlight a wonder I truly believe everyone should visit at least once.  This weeks photo was taken in May 2007 while hiking the 10 mile (round trip) Widforss Trail which takes you on a meandering trek over rolling hills and through a really dense forest while offering several canyon views along the way to Widfross Point.  This shot is of The Transept which is border on the right by Oza Butte and on the left by Bright Angel Point, which is where the Grand Canyon lodge is located.  Straight out I believe that is Brahma Temple.  It might be hard to believe since they are only a few miles apart, but the North Rim and the South Rim offer different experiences from each other, visiting just one side will not give you the complete picture of the park.  And even though it takes close to a 200 mile drive to visit both, I truly believe it is well worth it.  I also believe it to simply be impossible for me to convey the grandeur of Grand Canyon with words or photos, the best any of these could do is entice one to visit and see this park in person as this place requires you to be standing on the edge, looking out over this marvel to fully appreciate it.  If you want to see one of the top parks in America, plan a visit to the Grand Canyon NP as it's an experience you will not soon forget.
