Narrative:

VFR sightseeing tour to grand canyon from scottsdale, az. WX was MVFR with scattered IFR, visibility was good. Wasn't a good sightseeing day, but the company wanted the money, so a scud-running we will go. Trip to canyon was uneventful, but on way home we really had to pick our way through the passes.
