Ali is a little under the weather so rested while we prepared for our trip to the North Rim. If you are a bird it is a 17 mile trip. By car the trip is 213 miles. Before we took off we "took off" in a helicoper for a tour of Grand Canyon - wonderful with amazing views of God's work. Our 4 1/2 hour trip to North Rim was very interesting and actually went very quickly as we saw many Canyon, desert, alpine meadow and pine forest views. We left South Rim at 4000 ft and 93 degrees and arrived at North Rim at 8000 ft and 83 degrees. Our hotel room was a log and stone cabin, one a many clustered around the North Rim Lodge which overlooks the Canyon. "The train" trip to the Western Barbecue turned out to be a tram trip, but the buffet was very good and we were entertained by a couple who performed country music while we had supper. After dinner we went to a Geology lecture about the Canyon. The Park Ranger who gave the lecture was a Penn State Graduate.
