North Rim Adventure
Our trail endeavors continue…
This weekend: an out-and-back from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, down the North Kaibab trail to the Manzanita Rest Area. 11.5 miles total and 3641 feet elevation loss / gain. While there’s nothing at all special about the Manzanita Rest Area, the North Kaibab is my favorite trail of all time, and in the top 3 for Paul. We were SO eager and excited to show it off to the kids. Giddiness was as high as it gets as we all quite literally bounded down the trail in the early wee hours of the morning. My memory did not disappoint, the terrain was as beautiful and wild as I remembered it.
And the kids…LOVED it. ❤️
After our morning hike we checked into a sweet little campsite at the North Rim Campground. We spent the rest of the day chillaxing, then decided to walk the rim over to the lodge for a cocktail, bringing our total daily mileage up to 15.5 miles. One would think the boys would be beat by then and ready to hit the sleeping bags early. Um, nope. Not these boys:
