EnRoute to Grand Canyon 9/17


EnRoute to Grand Canyon Monday Sep 17

Driving along US 89A West, Vermillion Cliffs area




They just go on for miles !



Canyon of the Rio Grande at Navajo Bridge





Rosemary standing on "original" Navajo Bridge (1928) which
is now a pedestrian bridge. New highway bridge (1995),
to your left in this picture, nearly duplicates the
appearance of the old but with more modern steelwork.

(Original) Arch span 616 feet, height 467 feet.

This was our home for three nights at Grand Canyon North Rim.
Very short walk to overlook or to main Grand Canyon Lodge
which is on a point jutting out onto Bright Angel Point,
on Bright Angel Canyon which is a major side canyon
feeding into the Colorado River.
