The North Rim
I’m sitting on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Well, to be precise, I’m sitting in my overland trailer after a magnificent day and magnificent sunset. It wasn’t easy getting out here. There are three of us. Two well equipped Tacomas and a stock Ram Winnebago (a rental). We were going to go to go a bit further out, but, since our friend in the Winnebago is driving a rental, this is going to have to do. That said, this place if amazing. I mean, it’s hard to describe just how spectacular this is. Where am I going with this? Let me answer by saying: When you are with friends there is no place to remote, too beautiful, to difficult to get to that that does not provide a reward any better than this.
(Update 7/16: The Grand Lodge on the North Rim burned to the ground this last weekend. It was caught in a huge wildfire that unexpectedly grew out of control last Friday. I’m so happy I got to visit the lodge on this trip)
