north rim


In less than one month, the north rim is open for business once again. If you want to see the most beautiful canyon in the world, this aint it. Go to Bryce. However, she can thrill you like no other. Driving to the edge, looking in for a couple of hours and returning home is one experience. Looking down with the anticipation of going down and crossing is something entirely different. Challenge yourself and you will be rewarded.

I wont make it to Pt. Sublime this season. Other priorities and that's okay. One day, I hope this new priority accompanies me to the point.
