My Life and Travels
We drove the 45 miles out to the North Rim today.
This monitor was on the wall in the visitor’s center. I thought it gives a good example of the effect of altitude has on tempature. The distance across the Grand Canyon is 11 miles. The south rim is 3 miles from the river and the north rim is 7 miles from the river.
These are just a selection of the pictures I took during the day.
We spent two nights at Jacob Lake Campground and most of the day on Thursday at Grand Canyon. It is still a 55 mile drive from Jacob Lake to the canyon rim.
I took a lot of pictures and Hank learned the fine art of getting in and out of the car at every view point.
At 9000 feet I could really tell the elevation in my when we walked out to the view points.
This is the classical view of the window and the walk it 0.6 miles out to the end from the parking lot. No dogs were allowed on the walk way so I hurried out and back so Jean didn’t have to wait to long.
The aspen has already started to turn. This side of the canyon closes on October 15th of each year. It was a fun day.
