GRAND CANYON North Rim (Day 59 Aug 11)





















You probably remember Dee, John and the Gray Hare have previously seen the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Today with Jim, Judi, Lori, Chris and their children we will explore the North Rim. We are lucky to be able to see both.


See me pictured with Jim, the famous family photographer. Dee said she can't wait to see Jim's pictures when we get home. Dee knows he will share his pictures for Dee to use in her scrapbook because he loves all of us so much...........Dee and John were happy to share these experiences with everyone.


The Grand Canyon is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World. It has 277 miles of river and covers 1.2 million acres of land. People have often been moved to tears by the Grand Canyon's remarkable beauty. Time, erosion and the different rock layers have carved and created a visual rainbow palate.


Now you probably want to know which Rim is better. They are both great and each has its own good points. When Dee first viewed the expanse of the canyon on the South her breath was taken away. The South also has trams to take you from site to site. The North is less populated and does not have a tram for transportation. There is more driving from site to site, but well worth it. Dee thought the hiking and photography opportunities were better on the North.


Thank you Jim for doing the research and planning our journey today.
