Parentals on the North Rim

So the P rents came to Grand Canyon…mostly did the tourist thing all weekend. They rolled in last Friday afternoon right around when I was finishing work. Once again, nice to have people from home out here. We headed out to Bright Angel Point with Jessman who was still on the clock.

Mom and Dad with Canyon in the background on right. Can see a bit of smoke from the prescribed burns they were doing on the South Rim

Satuday morning woke up early for a sunrise out at point imperial. Took a stroll on the Ken Patrick Trail for a few minutes. Smoke/mist had settled in the canyon and it was quite pretty. Headed for breakfast at the lodge (first time all season) and then did some hiking on the Widforss trail.

Finally Made it out to Cape Royal for sunset. Saw an Osprey at Roosevelt point! It was huge! Didn't get a picture though.... a little too far away.

Dragged glady to Angel's window with me. Very proud of her for making it since sits not the easist trip for someone that is morbidly afraid of heights (Picture on Right)

Took the rents out to Point sublime on Sunday…. Aandd the truck died.. about 2 miles past the intersection to point sublime or fire point (which was where we were headed). Luckily we passed some fee guys that were going as we were leaving so Jess and I booked it to the intersection to intersept them… they showed up abuot 2 minutes after we got there and gave the four of us a ride back..lucky. Although snowflake is still sitting dead in the forest.

North Kaibab trail on Monday… Made it down to Supai tunnel and back without any problems.. proud of the old farts for getting down there haha…many people can’t do that. Dinner and bye bye trail boys L The North Rim will be much quiter without those volleyball/bonfire gatherings every 2 weeks and all that jazz.

Gearing up for a campfire in the woods and a condor release tomorrow morning. Should be a gas!
