Headed straight out to Grandview Point after work. Wanted to go to Coconino Saddle, but I wasted some time at the start of the hike deciding whether the storm over the North Rim was coming my way or not - and not wanting to have a repeat of my scary storm experience on this trail before!
Once again by the time I was five minutes down the trail I had left all the sightseers behind, and didn't see another person again.
Didn't quite make it to the saddle because I had to admit that yes, the storm was moving my way ... slowly, but my way. It was also sneaking in from the backside, covering first Palisades of the Desert, then the Watchtower by the time I started up.
Made it out of the Canyon, and home, before dark or rain ... on the drive home, the sun was a glowing pink ball in the sky - awesome looking!
Rain and lightning now.
