From Canyon to Canyon - Bryce to North Rim

North Rim Campground, Grand Canyon

Y'all must have taken my last words from yesterday's blog to heart, cuz we woke up to much cooler weather. Thanks! After a quick breakfast, and bundling up, we took off for a morning bike ride along the rim of Bryce Canyon.

 

 

 

 

 

The skies were overcast, but we still managed to get in some great views.

 

 

 

Gary and Linda goofing off at Ruby's Village.

 

 

 

 

 

Late morning we packed up and headed for the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We stopped at Jacob's Lake, a rest stop that seemed frozen in time. An old fashioned ice cream counter, bakery, trinkets and a sitting area. Pretty fun place to take a break and wonder about.

 

 

 

 

Yep, made it to the Grand Canyon, North Rim. It's also opening day of the season!

 

 

We didn't let the cooler weather keep us from jumping on our bikes and taking a ride.

 

Our first stop was Bright Angel Point.

 

 

The views did not disappoint!

 

"Someday this will be all mine..."

 

 

Of course all this hiking and biking called for adult refreshments in the saloon. Devil's Stout, North Rim IPA and Grand Canyon Pilsner. (Debi took sips of them all).

 

It was a pretty amazing day. I'm still trying to get my head around that this morning we were biking the rim of Bryce Canyon and this afternoon we were biking the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. So thankful for the good weather, good company and my great traveling buddy. (Winnie update: She's humming along fine. The a/c comes and goes at will, but ironically when it was 50 degrees it worked fine! Go figure. The temp gage only went up a bit with all the climbing we were doing. No heater needed today.).
