The North Rim, Day 2 - Part 1

On Sunday, we woke up to a few ravens terrorizing the camp at about 6:30. It was partly cloudy, so I thought to check out the canyon from a vantage point near the campground. There were rain showers in the distance and the sun highlighted the Transcept formation. After breakfast, we packed up our camp and checked out because we could not get the same site for both nights, being that we reserved last minute. We hiked the Uncle Jim Trail to return around 11:00 to set up camp again. Later, we went wildflower hunting. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and reading a novel. A cloud cover formed over us and it looked like rain. No rain. We had planned to drive 18 miles to Point Sublime but the road was closed due to fires. The next blog will be of Sunday nights sunset from Point Imperial...







My dependable 4Runner, over 206,000 miles and going strong!
