To say this was an awesome little walk would be an extreme understatement. Stood on Bright Angel Point in a massive wind/rain storm and for the first time ever, had the place ALL to myself! I did get a lecture by a Ranger or Park staff person upon my return to the lodge area, apparently the Point is closed during extreme storms due to lightning risks .. But you know the old saying.. it's sometimes easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission : wink :

Personal note/tribute to my dad... my father was an amateur artist, but very good... nearly 50 years ago I asked him to paint something for me and gave him pretty specific instructions as to what I had envisioned. I've included a photo of that painting. I'm guessing you can see why standing on that Point alone in a storm was such a kick for me :)
