This week, the Grand Canyon North Rim opens for visitors. It's a special place, and it's only open until early October. I visited in October of 2011, and it was magic. The aspens were yellow, the sun was bright, and the crowds were minimal. This was my first time seeing the Grand Canyon, and it set a pretty high standard for the South Rim. I finally visited the South Rim in 2013, and I must say the North Rim is my favorite but they're both spectacular. Can't wait to make a trip back to the North Rim, but until then I'll just enjoy the memories through these photos. I hope you you can find the time and resources in your life to visit this special place - it'll take your breath away in person. Enjoy the photos and have a great hump day.
We arrived in the evening, here's the moon over the Grand Canyon.
Good morning North Rim!
