North Rim Grand Canyon 2

 Does this one give you an idea how deep the canyon is?
 This day Jo was a trooper, she hiked a lot, the heat and altitude started to wear her out.
 Just look at all the subtle colors in the canyon walls, I wonder how many years it took to create such beauty.
 This is a pretty neat photo, at least I think so.
 Does anyone out there know if the different layers tell how old the cliff is, you know the rings of a cut tree tells its age, so does the different layers tell the cliffs age?
 Here is the proof she made the 3/4 mile hike to the look out.
 This view shows just how rugged the cliffs are
 Just a beautiful view, don't you think?
 This is at the end of the auto tour, about a ten mile drive through some beautiful country side.
 Why did or better yet do we see rock formations like the high one in the middle and in the upper right hand corner?
 There were many shades of red to pinkish colors.
Yes it was rugged

 God must have had an erector set to build this cliff
 What contractor put that rock formation on top of the hill?
 We passed on this trail, it was a long hot day
We hope that you all enjoyed the North Rim, but if you really want to enjoy it you have to go there, it is well worth the drive.
