North Rim, Grand Canyon NPWe closed up the campers and left Bob and Gena’s rig and our camper at the campground in Glendale while we drove to Cedar Breaks National Monument. The road was a constant climb to over 10,000’. At the visitor center we got our first glimpse; a condensed version of Bryce Canyon, with hoodoos, wonderful colors and layers and great vistas of surrounding mountain ranges and valleys. The visitor center and overlook were at 10,350’, which left me feeling a little breathless. After taking tons of pictures and listening to a ranger tell us about the geology of Cedar Breaks, we drove back to get our campers and move on.
We drove south to Kanab then on to Jacob Lake, first through lush green canyons, then high desert. After setting up at the campground at Camper Village, we rested a bit before heading to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We took the first offshoot road to the east to Vista Encantada, Roosevelt Point, then Imperial Point, all fabulous overlooks. How can you not love the Grand Canyon?
We then drove to the visitor center for patches and stamps. I sent the others on to Bright Angel Point while
Navajo Lake
on the way to Cedar Breaks National Monument I mailed postcards at the post office. We later met in front of the lodge before heading back to the campground. A very long, but beauty-filled day it was.
