We decided to visit the North rim of the Grand Canyon as:
A) it was on route up to the other canyons and we were too lazy to drive to the South rim.
B) only 10% of visitors to the Grand Canyon go to the North rim and we wanted to be the cool kids who didn’t follow the crowd.
C) the North rim is higher and therefore cooler than the South rim so although the atmosphere is thinner and I am more likely to get burnt I will at least not be so hot whilst it’s happening.
The Grand Canyon is HUGE! It’s really hard to gauge how big it really is as the Colorado River looks soooo tiny.
We were lucky as it was a fairly clear day and we could see the distant Californian Hills on the horizon.
I also learnt something new about Matt… he isn’t great with heights that overlook massive drops, it was kinda cute that he was a bit nervous 🙂
