Definitely not as bad as 2005, the year we worked at Kaibab Lodge for the season. When we arrived up on the mountain, there was only one lane plowed up 67, certain hours were to head up and other hours were to head down. We could barely see the roofs of all the cabins at the lodge and it didn’t stop until almost the end of May.
Hopefully, this current storm moving across the west doesn’t dump any more snow on you guys. Have a great season.
The scenery is beautiful Karen! You guys went past some of the places where the “young man” ,in the story I posted, had his encounter with the coyote, and where he was transformed into a holy being.The black mountain that stands in front of Gray Mountain is called “Shadow Mountain”, it is where the young man had to climb to the top and make his payment for the ceremonies and medicine he was given by the “man of the mountain”. At a place called “The Gap”, just west of there, up on the mesa, is where you can find evidence of Conquistadors. They were trying to get the Hopis to show them the way across the canyon… Of course the Hopis didn’t want any part of it and told them there was no way across, they didn’t want those people to defile the sacred land in their quest for riches. So the spanish had to go south to get around it… but as we all know, they came back…
Which led to the “Pueblo Revolt” where all the Hopi villages, save one, revolted and threw the missionaries off the cliff and and also destroyed one of their own villages for not taking part. From the young to the old. To this day that village is never mentioned. They already knew about God, they didn’t need white eyes to try to convert and enslave…

Dang! That is a lot of snow. I hope they plow out your site, or you’re going to have a lot of shoveling to do! 🙂

Glad you made it safely — looks like it was a bit of excitement at the end there.

We must have made the same journey as my photos were all taken in the same places as yours I think. Glad we made it safely.
