We took Becky on a tour of Cape Royal and Point Imperial. We stopped on the way up to Cape Royal and took a short hike over to Greenland Lake. The lake was dried up this late in the season, but the hike was still gorgeous!

Becky on the trail to Greenland Lake
That’s the lake, all dried up this late.
The next stop was Cape Royal, at Wedding Point. There are Becky and FabGrandpa near the edge. The day was very windy but sunny and nice.
The view from Wedding Point.
Looking over the edge–it’s a long way down there!
Gorgeous, as usual!
Walhalla Overlook–that light brown crescent near the center of this photo is the Colorado River.
This is Mount Hayden, at Point Imperial.

That night we had reservations for dinner at the restaurant at the lodge. The view from there at sunset is awesome!
This view is from the veranda at the rear of the lodge, at sunset. Oooooooo, Ahhhhhhh, awesome!
That was our last night with Becky. She left the next day around noon, headed for Las Vegas to spend the night before returning to Atlanta. We all shed tears as we said our good byes. We really enjoyed our visit, and all the sights we saw.
You sure did give Becky the Royal tour. Love the sunsets at the Lodge.
What can I say. The pictures are awesome, the beauty is so complete. Words don't do it justice.
By the way, today on PBS a new Ken Burns documentary start. On the National Parks no less. Wish we had tv reception so we could watch.
Thanks for sharing.
