Grand Canyon North Rim (The Approach)

Grand Canyon North Rim (The Approach)

If you have ever been to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, the North Rim is quite startling. It is about 1000 feet higher, and the approach puts you in a mixed deciduous and pine forest. As we approached the entrance to the park, on a long, slow rise, there were lots of pretty flowers!

The Grand Canyon cuts through an upthrust part of the Southwest, and you are quite aware of the rise as you ascend to the entrance.
