Yesterday Thing 2 and I rode the chairlift at the Arizona SnowBowl ski resort to the top of Agassiz Peak for a little high-altitude aspen viewing. At 11,500 feet (3,500 meters) we were just a thousand feet below the pinnacle, with splendid views of the surrounding forests and volcanic mountains. Kendrick Peak can be seen in the bottom photo, and in the far distance, the dark rim of the Grand Canyon, over 60 miles away (95 km).

I rose before dawn to look for elk moving across the meadow at Kendrick Park, in the Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff. I didn’t see any elk, but I did hear a bull bugling in the distance, calling his harem up into the hills for the day. 

In this photo you can see the crest of Walker Lake cinder cone in the background.
