Jacob Lake (or not) and the Grand Canyon (North Rim)

Karen loves trees.  She’s glad to be in this part of the world.  As we were ascending to Jacob Lake, Georgia asked if we were on our way to Mama and Grampa’s house.  Karen told her no, it just looks like it.  We pulled into our site and loved it!  

We went to the visitor’s center to get info, got some ice cream and asked where the lake was, low and behold there was none.  So, we relaxed at our campsite, which was significantly cooler than our last destination, in the shade. 

That evening, we went to the Grand Canyon to watch the sunset.  We took the first opportunity we had to put on jeans and carry jumpers (sweaters).

Along the way, we were amazed at the beautiful alpine meadows with deer and bison. 

We arrived a little late to our lookout point and missed out prime picture taking light, but as a result, were the only people there for most of the time.  We were blown away.

Then next morning, we got up early and spent the whole day touring the different viewpoints of the canyon.  It was epic and awe-inspiring.
