    July and August usually have Thundershowers roll thru up on the rim from my past experiences
    So we should be prepared in case of a cloud burst. I'd avoid major Independence day weekend 'cuz that will bring everyone up to the rim.

    There is a fire burning on the Rim. I'm completely bummed, because I planned on an entire summer bike packing up there. Hopefully the monsoons help get it under control.
