North Rim, Vermillion Cliffs

Left Zion early and traveled to the less visited North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Spectacular scenery -- what I saw of it. Too near the edge and no barriers -- yikes. Didn't go out on the observation points -- how embarrasing it would have been to have to be carried off! The pictures I took which I promise I will post were taken from the deck of the Lodge.

On the way there, we stopped for a picnic at a scenic point. It is amazing how many Europeans are visitng. We then stopped at Jacob's Lake for to die for cookies -- lemon sugar, ginger snaps, german chocolate with the frosting, chocolate chip, to peanut butter,etc.

The trip took to Page took a couple of hours plus through beautiful scenery. I'm running out of adjectives!!

I don't know what time it is!! Vegas is on Pacific, Utah on Mountain, and Arizona doesn't observe daylight savings time.

Dinner on our own once we arrived in Page. Too tired to go to the Mexican restaurant -- can you believe. Had a nice dinner on the patio with John and Betty with Lake Powell in the distance.

Being picked up in the a.m. (Wednesday) at 6:45 to float the Colorado. More later.
