Hail Storm

Last week a massive hail storm hit the area. I could not believe the amount of hail that came through. In most areas it was about pea size or a little larger. But on the Hermit Road I was told it was about the diameter of a quarter.
So much hail came down that afterward it looked more like an ice storm had hit! On the Hermit Road (that would be the west side of Grand Canyon Park) the buses had to stop service and wait in bus stops until the hail began to melt. It had become very slick on the road and very deep.
It is amazing what weather can be like at 7,000 feet.
