October 24 Monday 2011 North rim Grand Canyon

We leave St George at 8:30 temp 45' and sunny. We drive 139mi . We take hwy 9>59>389>89A. We arrive in the North rim of the Grand Canyon at 11:30 temp 55'. We have to set our clocks back 1 hour on Arizona time. We find a real nice pull through campground $12 no hookups no power no sewer. Clark unhooks and we go to the visitors center and lodge both closed but the gift stores are opened. We walk around to the lodge what a view of the canyon. It is so immence the eye can hardly comprehend it's vastness. We head down Bright angel Point trail. A paved trail down a narrow pathway to the point where the views are a labyrenth of ragged multicoloured passageways. Breathtaking panoramic views. I had cooked a beef dinner in the slow cooker the night before and only had to heat it up. We sleep well as no noise only the whisper of wind from the canyon floor.

REMEMBER-Confidence can take you further than doubt.
