Grand Canyon North Rim Passage
May 20, 2012
Richard and Justin
Sunday, we had a great day--started from the North Kaibab Trailhead. We left Richard's truck there at 9:15. Today's hike didn't have so many (that is, any) meadows, since the trail followed a utility right-of-way out of the park. The wildflowers are coming out, and the trail has been improved with switchbacks on the steep sections. It's generally uphill, but not too bad. We got back to the ranger station at the park entrance (where they'd joked about selling the red truck for $100) by 1:30 p.m.
We got back so early that we went out to Point Imperial before going back to the park for a shower. After the shower, back to the North Rim Lodge to shop (I bought a bandanna and earrings, Justin bought a jacket). Beers and a Coke on the patio, then dinner (prime rib, sirloin steaks) in the Lodge dining room, with time to see the eclipse.
Now we're back in camp with a fire and more beer. Here's the passage map: https://aztrail.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/39_GrandCanyonNorthRim.pdf
