As I hinted last post, we went to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, yesterday.
Long drive from here, but it is a long drive, pretty much, from anywhere!
First stop was House Rock.
Built a house enclosing the bottom of a balanced rock.
Route was around the south end of Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.
Such gorgeous colors, although the camera could hardly do it justice.
Then up, a few thousand feet to the Kaibab Plateau.
Jacob Lake, there is no lake, and then south to GCNP.
The views are great, and so nice and quiet as it closes Nov 1
Walked out to a view point and enjoyed sitting in the sunshine.
Poked into the store, which was very picked over.
Got the boyz out for a good walk.
Drove up to Point Imperial.
Great view.
Long drive back home and made it shortly after dark.
Supper and another episode of Northern Exposure.
Today we went into Page, AZ for a couple of reasons.
The Page Annual Balloon Regata and fuel.
We were disappointed as we did not see any balloons.
Did attend the street fair, then late lunch at a local pub.
Made it back home before sunset
and enjoyed a little time sitting out in the sunshine.
Temps drop fast when the sun goes behind the mesa.
Quiet evening at home and mental preparation to move on tomorrow.
Make your day great and enjoy whatever comes your way.
Tom and Millie
