I’ve been to the Grand Canyon several times, but this is my first trip to the North Rim. It’s a good thing that the elevation is higher here because the weather has been very warm.
Dad and I descended into Roaring Springs Canyon on the North Kaibab Trail. It’s incredible to think that this pretty big canyon is a mere side canyon to the main event. We didn’t hike many miles but we lost almost 2,000 vertical feet. The funny thing is that, unlike most hikes, the hard part is returning to the trailhead.
Grand Canyon hikers have a saying: “Going down is optional, coming back up is not.”
