After Moab, we trekked to the North Rim of the famous Grand Canyon. Little do some know, the North Rim sets 1000 feet above the South Rim and hosts a multitude of wild flora and fauna. We felt close to home due to the 9000+ ft. elevation on the North Rim. We camped near Ponderosa, Aspen and Fur trees and saw many Kaibab Squirrels and White Tail Deer. Luckily, a little advice from back in summit landed us in a BLM (Bureau of Land Management) camp site which was free.99! We woke, and set out on a 10 mile round trip down the Kaibab N. Rim trail. Little did we know how magnificent and exhausting the trek would be. None the less, well worth it in the long run as cascading water falls and ice-cold water refreshed us at the bottom. Following is a little preview...

Amazing cut-outs in the wall during our hike down. Good break spot!
