The Grand Canyon goes on the road:

Earlier this week I read that a collection of Grand Canyon photographs showcasing 125 years of history will be on display at the Peoria Art Museum in Arizona. I'm excited to check out the grand opening of Lasting Light: 125 Years of Grand Canyon Photography on January 22nd since it's just a few miles from my home and a few months before my next backpacking trip down into the Canyon.

The collection has been on the road the past two years starting in Arizona and swinging through Wyoming, Georia, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, and Illinois. Don't worry if you missed those, after three months with us in Arizona it will be back on the road to South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Texas, and California.

For detail about where and when to see the exhbition while it's in Peoria, AZ check out: City of Peoria and for background and the schedule through 2013 check out: Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service

Here's a photo of my own from the North Rim in August 2008.
