Made it to the North Rim

GRAND CANYON! First time and it's as magnificent as I knew it would be.

Great drive from Escalante to Kanab.

Then the high meadows started with aspen and pine (?) trees. Purty!

Arrived and put up my smaller REI tent then followed a 1.5 mile hike on the rim in the forest and out to some crazy look out points.

Loved the hike, loved the canyon colors and view.... Even the wind was exciting.

Gorp and a a Lagunitas IPA for dinner and watching the sunset... Now ready for bed at 7:30 pm!

Glad I brought a bag of cold clothes, I'm totally layered up!
