The North Rim of the Grand Canyon was a different scene from the South Rim. It was
practically forest and had green bushes and such. There were also a lot less people
around, so it was relatively peaceful. Since it is higher than the South Rim, it's also
cooler. Besides the forest fire, it was a pretty nice trip. . .
As we left Page, heading home via the North Rim, we noticed a haze that looked like smog,
but since we were in the middle of nowhere, that didn't seem right...
As we got closer to the Grand Canyon, we realized it was smoke from a forest fire there!
The road wasn't closed, so we went ahead and drove to the North Rim, even though the fire
was pretty close along side of the road:
Amazingly, the view at the Grand Canyon was relatively clear!
I was surprised at how green it was there!
Angel Landing. It's a natural bridge, you can see the hole under the rock.
And they let you walk out on the 'bridge.'
You can see the Colorado River through the hole.
