Grand Canyon North Rim (TEA Day 21)

Yesterday we were at a point on the South Rim 9.6 miles away from where we are now. However, we had to drive 6 hours to get to the point on the North Rim.

We took a short hike out to a ridge. It was wild! The Canyon totally surrounds you at the end of the trail.
