I was there over 10 years ago and came across these shots.
Nothing much but was surprised I had the last shot!
I do not even know where or why it was there!

Nice Dave........looking at the vastness of these shots makes it easier to understand why Fossett hasn't been found yet......large wide open spaces and such a small plane that he was flying.....I only wish you had something in there for relative size..........and the Connie......real nice.......... Shocked

A balloon ride is definitely a great idea for a good look at that... very cool.

I have many shots but they are not digital and I would have to scan them. The only reason I have these is because I used to have a scanner and I must have been using the canyon photos to test the scanner.

Would love to go back there and shoot them again with my Nikon digi!  Wink

Yes, the balloon ride was amazing. We took off at sunrise. Absoloute stillness and quiet as we floated over this surreal place!

Simply amazing... it looks great on photo, but I convinced the real life view must be overwhelming...

Nice Connie...  Wink
