We spent a wonderful day at the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Weather was just right, aside from some haze that settled in as the morning went along. It was about forty miles from the campground to the visitor\u2019s center, but it was great road. Various signs told us to watch for cows, bison, deer, and rocks. We did see one cow, who was outstanding in its field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took walks at the visitor\u2019s center, as well as at various other places. The size and scope of the canyon are breathtaking. It\u2019s also hard to picture the early Native Americans who spent half the year on the canyon floor and the other half out of the canyon. They must have been strong, intelligent men and women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We topped out at over 8800 feet today, and I found out just how out of shape I am at elevation.Tomorrow is moving day again, and we head downhill to Bryce Canyon\u2026only about 113 miles away. I\u2019m looking forward to more oxygen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
