North Rim Grand Canyon:
Although only 10 miles as the raven flies from the South Rim, the North Rim offers a very different visitor experience. It too has awe inspiring views, but with a slower pace. Unfortunately for us, the views were limited due to heavy clouds that descended into the canyon.
Highlights:
 |
| Grand Canyon Lodge |
Point Imperial: This is the highest viewpoint in the park at 8803 feet. It was engulfed in cloud cover.
 |
| Bright Angel Point Trail |
Grand Canyon Lodge & Bright Angel Point Trail: The historic Grand Canyon Lodge has a wonderful back porch for viewing the canyon. One can only imagine how wonderful it would be to enjoy cocktails there at sunset. Unfortunately we experienced it in the rain & clouds. Bright Angel Point Trail is a 0.5 mile roundtrip trail leading from the lodge to a couple of rock overhangs.
