Originally
our team planned to hike in the Cottonwood Cove area of Coyote
Buttes South. But a snow storm made the deep sand road impassable.
After a short discussion, we considered going to Grand Canyon
South Rim to photograph the snow scenery. We called the park
ranger to check out the road condition. But it was discouraging to
hear that there was no visibility in South Rim. I convinced the
whole team to go ahead anyway by saying that it takes just half an
hour of clear view to make a great shot. On the way to South Rim
an Indian hawker told us that there were several car accidents in
the Grand Canyon, but we were un-deterred. After entering
the South Rim through the east entrance, we were eager to go to
the main village near the south entrance. However, a police
blocked the road and directed all cars to turn back because the
icy road had caused some car wrecks. Our driver tried to ask the
police to let us go through for we had a 4X4 vehicle, but the
policeman was not in a negotiating mood. At last we could only
shoot pictures in Moran Point and Desert View Point near the east
entrance. Nevertheless, we could still make the most out of this
situation.
