On Saturday (10/1/11), we drove from our camp at Kaibab campeRVillage to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The canyon is hidden from view until the visitor walks through the North Rim Lodge to an area where the canyon is suddenly visible in all its glory.

The ranger told us that the 23-mile drive to Cape Royal was well worth the effort. There we were able to see the Colorado River through Angels Window, a hole eroded into a narrow blade. We also were able to stand on top of the window. The safety fence was very comforting!

| Not everyone wants to stand this close to the edge |

Jacey wasn't allowed on many of the trails, but there was a picnic area at Vista Encantada where she could appreciate the "enchanted view".
