Inspired by the thought of walking around the hoodoos, we resolved to do the Navajo Loop Trail which runs on the floor of the Canyon between Sunset and Sunrise Points. I had already done this with Mike, but the weather on this day was different, and there is so much to capture anyway.
You descend from Sunset Point down a steep path known as Wall Street, for obvious reasons. At the bottom of Wall Street are some tall Douglas firs which are beginning to grow higher than the hoodoos. Going down you get a good view of Thor's Hammer a well known landmark. The whole of the floor of the canyon seems to glow red from the light reflected from the rock and the floor of the Canyon.
It was a great walk and I took far too many pictures, but what's new!
