Arizona - Navajo Mountain Erupted? - Navajo Bridge - Marble Canyon, Old Cliff Dwellers Lodge - Off Road Distraction - Grand Canyon North Rim - Our 4th grandchild will be here a little early

This looks like a volcano just erupted, it's just clouds.
It's Navajo Mountain, 10,348' tall.


As we head to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon the first place we stopped was the Navajo Bridge Interactive Center. The first bridge is really small.
They built another bridge to support more traffic.
Here's Kathy on the old bridge.


Looking at the Colorado River



Flying down the road


Stop here!, it's part of the Roadside America Oddities.


Evidently somebody built a house around a rock.


Amazingly enough people took it upon themselves to write all over it.


for more information click here on roadside America.

Still on the way to the Grand Canyon,
we see a dirt road, turn left!
It's hard for us to resist the opportunity to explore roads like these.
I should have had a Jeep all my life.


This is part of the Kaibab National Forest.
Our plan is to stay on this trail for a few miles just to check it out and turn around and go back.


But all the sudden the navigation picked up on it and gave us a route right to the North Rim
so we stayed with the trail.


Grand Canyon North Rim.
 

These are pictures of Roaring Springs Canyon



This is a little hike down to Bright Angel.





Just your run-of-the-mill tree growing out of a rock with the Sun and clouds behind it.


Kathy posing with the tree


The clouds were coming and it was getting really dark.
We just ran out of time today.
We have to come back and explore more of the North Rim.

We must of seen 100 deer on the way out of the park.
If you roll your window down and say HI !


The Deer will give you a heads up!



Who doesn't love a sunset.



We will definitely will be back Page, Arizona. There is a lot for us to do here still.

Our 4th grandchild will be here a little early.
We're headed down south to Casa Grande to hang out for a month.
