Exploring the West - Part 3 - The Grand Canyon

The final destination of our trip was the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We rented a cabin at the Kaibab Lodge, just a few miles from the park. I would have loved to stay in the park, but we did not make our plans to take this vacation early enough to get a spot, so we got the next best place. While at the North Rim we went to Bright Angel point and Cape Royal. The views were spectacular and I really enjoyed climbing out to the points. We also took a hike in the Kaibab National Forest and saw the Grand Canyon from high above. It was neat to see what the tops of the plateaus looked like and to see the canyon as just a big gouge out of the earth.
