North Rim of Grand Canyon

We made a trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon August 21st. It was 340 miles round trip.It was a long drive but we decided we'd never be this close again anytime soon,was a long and tiring day but well worth the trip. We went to the Lodge and Visitors Center first and hiked out to the overlook and made pictures. We drove to a couple other places and hiked to the overlooks. The temperature was nice, in the low 70's and that made the hikes more pleasant. I don't handle high altitude and hot weather too well, it's hard to breathe sometimes. Only 10 miles separate the North & South Rim of the Grand Canyon, as the Raven flies, but over 200 miles separate them by road. Here are some pictures we made on our trip to the North Rim of Grand Canyon, hope you enjoy. Also, check out the link to the National Parks.

I have always wanted to go to the Grand Canyons. That is beautiful picture. I know I keep saying that your pictures are beautiful but I can't think of words to describe them!
