Another successful trip for the Central Texas Trail Tamers!
The Trail Tamers had a great time at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was hard work but our members did a great job. The guys cleared about 2 miles of over-growth and debris from the main park road. Dorothy Lay and I can add road flagging to our resumes.
If you have only visited the South Rim, the North Rim is a revelation. The approach from the South takes you down through a large flood plain to a bridge over the Colorado River. You circle the stark beauty of the Vermillion Cliffs. Then you climb up to mountain passes at around 9000 feet. The passes are beautiful with spruce and aspen. There are pristine, alpine-like meadows. If you are lucky, you even get to see a stray herd of buffalo!
We camped in the heavily wooded North Rim campground. After work we enjoyed dutch oven meals, ranger lectures and trips up to the lodge to watch the sunsets. We all did some hiking. I think David hiked almost every trail on the North Rim! It was a wonderful experience and I hope we get to go back next year.
