GRAND CANYON NORTH RIM

The North Rim is over 8000 feet (2438 m.) in elevation. Hiking across the Grand Canyon from South Rim to North Rim is a total of 21 miles (34 km). Bright Angel Point Trail, 0.5 mile (0.8 km) round-trip trail, leads out the spine of the ridge to Bright Angel Point. This trail is steep in places, with drop-offs and stairs, but provides dramatic views into Roaring Springs and Bright Angel Canyons.
During our visit there was a forest fire nearby that tinted the sky during sunset.
