Point Imperial
Today we head to Jacob Lake, Az. where we will be staying at Kaibab Camper Village, which is only RV park with full hookups near the north rim of Grand Canyon. 45 miles from the north rim, no cellphone service, no internet, no tv. Kind of nice.

After getting parked by very nice and helpful campground attendants we headed for the north rim for late afternoon views and hopes of a beautiful sundown at Cape Royal. Weather did not cooperate, and even though we did not get wet, a storm was moving through the canyon. Temp. dropped from 75 to 54 degrees.

Spotted a fair amount of wildlife on the main road to and from the north rim. Herd of bison, and 14 plus mule deer. The hiking trails and roads to different vistas were covered with chipmunks and lizards.
