No wonder we couldn't find the desert anywhere!!!

Actually, the farther north we drove from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon, the higher the elevation got. The highest we were: 7,350 feet above sea level!

This was March 6, 2005.
What a surprise when we went from 50-60 degrees just down the road at the "World's Largest Kokopelli" to THIS!... an Arizona Blizzard. It was a terrible snow storm that struck COMPLETELY out of the blue.

Guess they're somewhat prepared for it though... they had this sign to give us a heads up.
