| Grand Canyon National Park North Rim |
The north rim of the Grand Canyon National Park has been long on the list of to visit. It is 8000ft
high and is about 1000 ft higher than the South Rim. It opens mid-May and closes in the winter. So
best to visit in the spring and fall.
From the grand 1932 rebuild Grand Canyon Lodge, either the sun room or balcony give an
excellent view of Bright Angel Canyon incised 11 miles into the plateau.
To Bright Angel Point is a short trail with great vista. What you hear in the background is the wind
amplified by the pines and the birds well hidden.
The 23 mile drive to Cape Royal is well worth the effort. Each stop along the way offered great
vista.

Pine on the rocks. Trees and plants on the North Rim seemed healthier than South Rim, when I visited in 96'.
We took the paved road from North Rim Visitor Center north east, 23 miles to Cape Royal, enjoyed the
vista and the nature trail, then back track to Walhalla overlook, Roosevelt Point and Vista Encantada.
An interesting stone bridge with observation on top at Cape Royal.

Rock columns gave away by erosion too.
At Vista Encantada, many beautiful and interesting plants are found. Some I still need help identifying.
