Grand Canyon North Rim trip
LINKS BELOW TO SKIP AHEAD
we left Bryce Canyon and head to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon June 9,2016.
WIND NOISE was an issue. I made those clips Silent. You might want your own music and read below if you need info. These views are Huge, so you may just want to watch in silent awe...
DO NOT MISS CAPE ROYAL. This is where the North Rim is most Spectacular.
Before our trip, I had carefully looked over the map to see if there was a view of the Colorado River we could get to. I found Navajo Bridge at Marble Canyon. 45 miles each way off the road to North Rim. A couple hours out of the way but we had the time and it meant we could also get a better look at the Vermilion Cliffs.
In 2014 Roxana and I took a trip around Utah and the Grand Canyon but our North Rim stay was so short we skipped Cape Royal. Then we got to the South Rim and saw a relief map display in a visitor center, and knew i would have to return to the North Rim to see Cape Royal.
Time Links below should give you the rest of the info, and will skip the video ahead if you want
0:46 part of the Grand Staircase, tiny Chocolate Cliffs in front, Vermilion and Grey Cliffs ascending behind them. At Antelope Pass Overlook. On the way to the North Rim, here you will also find Navajo vendors selling high quality hand made crafts, please help support this artistry if you can.
1:28 Vermilion Cliffs from a vista along AZ 89A
2:02 at the town of Marble Canyon is the Navajo Bridge. We are 6 miles west of the official start of the Grand Canyon, so the bridge technically crosses it. The bridge is in Navajo Nation, and there are Navajo vendors on the Navajo side.
The new vehicle bridge opened in 1995 allowing this original bridge to eventually be turned into a pedestrian bridge.
The foot bridge is 467 ft above the Colorado River.
The River water is green here due to algae being released from Glen Canyon Dam.
2:54 Condor Sighting! later we saw 2 flying over the North Rim Gate area but they were too far to film.
3:48 once you head south on AZ 67, you will be in OPEN RANGE- COWS, and in the Park, Bison may be on the road. In daytime you should be able to see them but at night they are nearly invisible. BE CAREFUL.
4:11 DeMotte campground. Very nice, but it is outside the Park. We added North Rim to our itinerary in February and all the campsites inside the Park were already reserved. For National Park campsites you often need to reserve SIX MONTHS in advance.
4:38 Bison Herd alongside the road inside the Park. Fortunately none were In the road at this time. We also saw some Condors flying overhead here. You might see a Condor anywhere near the Grand Canyon.
5:10 first view of the Grand
5:21 Roaring Springs Canyon. the Springs is The Source of water for both the North and South Rim. It is piped down, across, and back up the other side of the Canyon. there are no other water sources for the Park but there are some small springs for hikers in the Canyon itself.
5:38 Lodge cabins. Surprisingly affordable, but make your reservations forever in advance. A few are Right on the Rim.
5:50 short trail to Bright Angel Point. The South Rim has Bright Angel Trail and Bright Angel Lodge. North Rim has Bright Angel Point and Bright Angel Canyon.
6:25 a controlled burn on the South Rim. This fire was set by Rangers to get rid of dead brush. The skies are Very Hazy, but this small fire is not the main cause. The entire southwest was hazy during this time.
7:26 Bright Angel Canyon pointed out
7:52 zoom on Bright Angel Canyon.
8:00 The Colorado River is way out there below that far cliff, we can't see it from up here.
8:40 the Lodge is At the Rim. There is a visitor center, gift shops, Fine Dining, a Good buffet, a Deli, and of course restrooms. You are welcome to sit on the couches and use the patio. We saw waiters bring drinks to the patio chairs so not sure if they will shoo you away eventually if you dont buy a drink but we had no problems hanging out for half an hour. we REally enjoyed the buffet, no reservations or dress code $25/person GOOD food and a Grand Canyon View.
9:51 We happened ot be here during a Star Party week. These telescopes are privately owned by people who organized with the Park to let them set up here. At night they focus on different objects and people can take a look, and Many people showed up.
10:27 heading to Cape Royal. If you go, DO NOT MISS THIS AREA.
Point Imperial first, at 8,803 ft elevation the Highest Viewpoint of the Grand Canyon.

landing and take off marble canyon Az L41 720p
Landing our Cessna 206 at Marble Canyon, Az. (L41) on runway 03 El 3,603ft, 03/21 length 3,715x35ft asphalt with a 1 degree upslope. Take off downslope on runway 21
We flew in from Boulder City after landing at Bar 10 ranch 1Z1 en route and approached L41 from the West alongside the Vermillion Cliffs and passed over the private Cliff Dwellers airstrip AZ03 about 7 miles West of L41
Picturesque location and worth staying at the Navajo operated Lodge. Friendly and courteous service, very reasonable and comfortable accommodation and great food. We stayed three nights there. The tie downs are on rough and uneven ground with lots of nasty stones. There are robust if rusty cables, but bring your own ropes. L41 is close to Lee's Ferry the launch point for Grand Canyon rafting at the beginning of the gorge. For those pilots flying to L41 the winds and density altitude conditions can make for hazardous use. Fly in early when the air is cool and calm and enjoy. It's a must visit if you're flying in the area.
Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, United States, North America
Grand Canyon National Park is the United States' 15th oldest national park. Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, the park is located in Arizona. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The park covers 1,217,262 acres (1,902 sq mi; 4,926 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties.Grand Canyon National Park was named as an official national park in 1919, but the landmark had been well known to Americans for over thirty years prior. In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited the site and said: The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison beyond description; absolutely unparalleled throughout the wide world... Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is. Do nothing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and loveliness. You cannot improve on it. But what you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American should see. Despite Roosevelt's enthusiasm and his strong interest in preserving land for public use, the Grand Canyon was not immediately designated a national park. The first bill to create Grand Canyon National Park was introduced in 1882 by then-Senator Benjamin Harrison, which would have made Grand Canyon National Park the nation's second, after Yellowstone National Park. Harrison unsuccessfully reintroduced his bill in 1883 and 1886; after his election to the presidency, he established the Grand Canyon Forest Reserve in 1893. Theodore Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon Game Preserve by proclamation in 1906 and Grand Canyon National Monument in 1908. Further Senate bills to establish the site as a national park were introduced and defeated in 1910 and 1911, before the Grand Canyon National Park Act was finally signed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The National Park Service, established in 1916, assumed administration of the park. The creation of the park was an early success of the conservation movement. Its national park status may have helped thwart proposals to dam the Colorado River within its boundaries. (Later, the Glen Canyon Dam would be built upriver.) In 1975, the former Marble Canyon National Monument, which followed the Colorado River northeast from the Grand Canyon to Lee's Ferry, was made part of Grand Canyon National Park. In 1979, UNESCO declared the park a World Heritage Site. In 2010, Grand Canyon National Park was honored with its own coin under the America the Beautiful Quarters program. The Grand Canyon, and its extensive system of tributary canyons, is valued for its combination of size, depth, and exposed layers of colorful rocks dating back to Precambrian times. The canyon itself was created by the incision of the Colorado River and its tributaries after the Colorado Plateau was uplifted, causing the Colorado River system to develop along its present path. The primary public areas of the park are the North and South Rims of the Grand Canyon itself. The rest of the park is extremely rugged and remote, although many places are accessible by pack trail and backcountry roads. Only the Navajo Bridge near Page connects the rims by road in Arizona; this journey can take around five hours by car. Otherwise, the two rims of the Canyon are connected via Boulder City, Nevada, and the Hoover Dam. The park headquarters are at Grand Canyon Village, not far from the south entrance to the park, near one of the most popular viewpoints. Park accommodations are operated by Xanterra Parks and Resorts. Lodging is available along the South Rim at two locations. Campgrounds are located in the village and at Desert View, and hotels include El Tovar Hotel in the village and the Grand Canyon Lodge next to the campground. A variety of activities at the South Rim cater to park visitors. The South Rim Drive (35 miles (56 km) is a driving tour split into two segments. The western drive to Hermit's Point is 8 miles (13 km) with several overlooks along the way, including Mohave Point, Hopi Point, and the Powell Memorial. From March to December, access to Hermit's Rest is restricted to the free shuttle provided by the Park Service. The eastern portion to Desert View is 25 miles (40 km), and is open to private vehicles year round. Walking tours include the Rim Trail, which runs west from the Pipe Creek viewpoint for about 8 miles (13 km) of paved road, followed by 7 miles (11 km) unpaved to Hermit's Rest. Hikes can begin almost anywhere along this trail, and a shuttle can return hikers to their point of origin. Mather Point, the first view most people reach when entering from the South Entrance, is a popular place to begin.

FLY FISHING THE COLORADO RIVER | LEES FERRY (EP 101)
We learned the expensive way... wait for a need until you buy. Here are all our favorite RV products ✅
*This is a small way to help keep our channel going that doesn’t cost you any more money and all purchases are private.
The #1 question we get is “what is your favorite place” and our answer is always the same. It’s impossible to compare the beauty of two extremes. Lees Ferry is an extreme. This destination is a site in Marble Canyon on the Colorado River separating Arizona from Utah. It will feel like you’re at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and in a way you are. To make this destination even more magical, it’s directly below the Glen Canyon damn that is breathtaking in its accomplishment.
Horse Shoe Bend is a highly visited destination near Page, AZ. It was our first destination of SN1. Now two years later, we are at the same place, but 1,400 feet below on the water. Temperatures at Lees Ferry can reach well over 100 degrees, but the water temperate doesn’t change from 48 degrees. Fly Fishing at Lees Ferry is one of the few places in the world you can get hyperthermia from the waist down and heat stroke from the waist up!
Big thanks to Lees Ferry Anglers for the opportunity to fish with them and record a special day. Thanks to Captain Jimmy for showing us a great time and putting so many fish in the boat.

In this 45th episode, we visit Grand Canyon National Park. Enjoy the ride with us! ;)
Grand Canyon National Park, located in northwestern Arizona, is the 15th site in the United States to have been named a national park. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Wonders of the World. The park, which covers 1,217,262 acres (1,901.972 sq mi; 4,926.08 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties, received more than six million recreational visitors in 2017, which is the second highest count of all American national parks after Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Grand Canyon was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.
Grand Canyon was officially designated a national park on February 26, 1919, though the landmark had been well known to Americans for over thirty years prior. In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited the site and said: The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison—beyond description; absolutely unparalleled through-out the wide world...

Millions of visitors come to Grand Canyon National Park, one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the most visited national park in the western United States. However, very few ever get to experience the Grand Canyon by way of the Colorado River. Stretching from Lees Ferry at Marble Canyon, AZ, through the inner gorge graced with geology dating as far back as 1.8 billion years, all the way to Diamond Creek, just before the river gives way to Lake Mead, these spectacular 225 miles of whitewater rafting are only accessible by guided commercial motor trips and private rafting permits. Although over 6M visitors come to the Grand Canyon every year, only a small fraction gets permission to raft the river, mainly during the late Spring, Summer and early Fall months.
Production of this video was made possible by a commercial rafting partner Grand Canyon Whitewater, check them out at grandcanyonwhitewater.com!
Grand Canyon was recently awarded the Dark Sky Park status by the International Dark-Sky Association.
This video was filmed as part of SKYGLOW (skyglowproject.com), an ongoing crowdfunded quest to explore the effects and dangers of urban light pollution in contrast with some of the most incredible dark sky areas in North America. This project is being produced in collaboration with International Dark-Sky Association (darksky.org), a non-profit fighting for the preservation of night skies around the globe.
The film was shot on Canon 5DIV, 5DSR & 6D cameras & lenses sponsored by Canon USA, aided by Alpine Labs' Michron & Pulse, powered by Paul C. Buff Vagabond Mini. Adobe Lightroom & Premiere were used for editing and processing. Additional corrections by LRTimelapse.
This video is a follow up to KAIBAB ELEGY, a SKYGLOWPROJECT.COM video which garnered over 1 million views on Vimeo and over 4 million on social media and other outlets, and KAIBAB REQUIEM. Watch these two videos here: vimeo.com/217407298 and here: vimeo.com/246551452

Timelapse artists and filmmakers Gavin Heffernan and Harun Mehmedinović are proud to introduce WWW.SKYGLOWPROJECT.COM, a 192-page hardcover photobook and timelapse video series exploring North America’s remaining magnificent night skies and the increasing impact of light pollution on our highly fragile environment.
A blend of images, stories, essays, and anecdotal captions, SKYGLOW explores the history and mythology of celestial observation and the proliferation of electrical outdoor lighting that spurred the rise of the phenomena known as “light pollution,” a grave threat not only to our incredible starscapes but also to the very ecosystem itself.
After a highly publicized Kickstarter campaign that ended as the fourth-most earning Photobook campaign ever, Harun and Gavin traveled over 150,000 miles and logged more than 3,000,000 photos on their grueling three-year quest. From incredible locations like the active Kīlauea volcano in Hawaii to Alberta’s majestic Northern Lights, SKYGLOW takes viewers on a visual journey through time, exploring our civilization’s evolving relationship with light and the night sky through the ages.

Paria Canyon/Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness - A Lasting Legacy
In Utah, the spectacular Paria Canyon/Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness Area is about 45 miles east of Kanab. The Wilderness area encompasses 112,000 acres of redrock canyons and upthrust fault mountains.
Coyote Buttes is a Special Management Area of the Paria Canyon/Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. It has become one of the most popular destinations for many people visiting the Colorado Plateau. It is colorful but fragile Navajo Sandstone slickrock. The attraction is the thin ledges that swirl in wild contours of color and stone that are Coyotte Buttes Northvery brittle and breakable. It has grown as an attraction over the years due to the many published photographs and other media coverage of this small area. Nature has fully used its imagination to converge with the appreciation of our individual minds in all their variety of thought and wonder.
Before highways and railways, before pioneers, even before Columbus...the land we know as the United States was truly a vast wilderness. To protect these last remaining areas, in 1984, Congress created the Paria Canyon/Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. Coyote Buttes' outstanding scenery, desert wildlife, colorful history, and opportunities for primitive recreation will remain free from the influence of man and are protected in this condition for future generations. Its 112,000 acres beckon adventurers who yearn for solitude, scenic splendor, and the chance to explore one of the most beautiful geologic formations in the world.

Backpacking through the Grand Canyon (AZ) & Exploring Death Valley National Park (CA)
This is the complete video of my October 10-25-2015 Grand Canyon and Death Valley Trip with several members of the Explorers Club of Pittsburgh and friends. I see waterfalls, a flashflood after an epic storm, lose part of my tent, see a double rainbow at plateau point and more. This adventure begins at the North Rim, follows the North Kaibab Trail to the Colorado River, Picks up the South Kaibab, and part of the Bright Angel Trail, and then follows the Tonto Trail about 15 miles. After spending 7 days in the Grand Canyon we decide to go to a warmer dryer place- Death Valley, CA (but first stop to witness the Engineering marvel of the Hoover Dam). Journey with me on one of my greatest adventures.

Traveling United States | The Grand Canyon National Park Tour | Grand Canyon Skywalk Weather Hotel R
Here is the video of Grand Canyon National Park where you can find the Skywalk with the wonderful weather and view. Where I've been there alone I really don't know where is the grand canyon
where is the railway, and where is the hotel, but it is very cool place ever that I can't forget.
Grand Canyon National Park was named as an official national park in 1919,[4] but the landmark had been well known to Americans for over thirty years prior.[citation needed] In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited the site and said: The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison—beyond description; absolutely unparalleled through-out the wide world... Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is. Do nothing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and loveliness. You cannot improve on it. But what you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American should see.[5]
Despite Roosevelt's enthusiasm and his strong interest in preserving land for public use, the Grand Canyon was not immediately designated a national park. The first bill to create Grand Canyon National Park was introduced in 1882 by then-Senator Benjamin Harrison, which would have made Grand Canyon National Park the nation's second, after Yellowstone National Park. Harrison unsuccessfully reintroduced his bill in 1883 and 1886; after his election to the presidency, he established the Grand Canyon Forest Reserve in 1893. Theodore Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon Game Preserve by proclamation on 28 November 1906[6] and Grand Canyon National Monument in 1908. Further Senate bills to establish the site as a national park were introduced and defeated in 1910 and 1911, before the Grand Canyon National Park Act was finally signed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The National Park Service, established in 1916, assumed administration of the park.
The creation of the park was an early success of the conservation movement. Its national park status may have helped thwart proposals to dam the Colorado River within its boundaries. (Later, the Glen Canyon Dam would be built upriver.) In 1975, the former Marble Canyon National Monument, which followed the Colorado River northeast from the Grand Canyon to Lee's Ferry, was made part of Grand Canyon National Park. In 1979, UNESCO declared the park a World Heritage Site.

Rough and Ready and Baldface Creeks—Among America's most endangered rivers
Oregon Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley have called for the Obama Administration to act on their repeated requests to withdraw Rough & Ready and Baldface Creeks from the 1872 Mining Law. The withdrawal would help prevent nickel strip mining that would devastate the area. On the same day, the eligible, but unprotected, Wild and Scenic Rivers were identified by American Rivers as two of the nation's Most Endangered Rivers.
You can help protect their pure waters and wild salmon. Go to American Rivers and send an urgent message asking the Obama Administration to help the home state senators to preserve the unique beauty and botanical values of Rough and Ready and Baldface Creeks - - They're America's Great Outdoors personified.
Read Senator Wyden and Senator Merkley's press release -
The US Forest Service has determined that nickel mining at Rough and Ready Creek would have drastic and irreversible impacts and the US Environmental Protection Agency has identified the metal mining industry as the largest toxic polluter in the nation.

The original music, Cathy's Dance, is composed by local musician and banjo virtuoso George Shook in memory of Cathy Hocker, who dearly loved Rough and Ready Creek. It's performed by the Illinois Valley String Band.- Kent Fisher, Jack Dwyer, Mark Kelz and George.
GRAND CANYON - LAS VEGAS TO MATHER POINT
Visit Las Vegas yes, by all means. If you have the time take a side trip like we did to the Grand Canyon - one of America's great natural wonders. Almost everyone who visits the south rim of the Grand Canyon, and the vast majority of visitors indeed visit only the south rim, will start their visit by going to the visitor's center and then make the short walk to Mather Point for an unparalleled view of the canyon.
Grand Canyon was officially designated a national park on February 26, 1919,[5] though the landmark had been well known to Americans for over thirty years prior.[6] In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited the site and said: The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison—beyond description; absolutely unparalleled through-out the wide world... Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is. Do nothing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and loveliness. You cannot improve on it. But what you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American should see.[7]
Despite Roosevelt's enthusiasm and strong interest in preserving land for public use, the Grand Canyon was not immediately designated as a national park. The first bill to establish Grand Canyon National Park was introduced in 1882 by then-Senator Benjamin Harrison, which would have established Grand Canyon as the third national park in the United States, after Yellowstone and Mackinac. Harrison unsuccessfully reintroduced his bill in 1883 and 1886; after his election to the presidency, he established the Grand Canyon Forest Reserve in 1893. Theodore Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon Game Preserve by proclamation on 28 November 1906,[8] and the Grand Canyon National Monument in 1908.[9] Further Senate bills to establish the site as a national park were introduced and defeated in 1910 and 1911, before the Grand Canyon National Park Act was finally signed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The National Park Service, established in 1916, assumed administration of the park.
The creation of the park was an early success of the conservation movement. Its national park status may have helped thwart proposals to dam the Colorado River within its boundaries. (Later, the Glen Canyon Dam would be built upriver.) In 1975, the former Marble Canyon National Monument, which followed the Colorado River northeast from the Grand Canyon to Lee's Ferry, was made part of Grand Canyon National Park. In 1979, UNESCO declared the park a World Heritage Site. The 1987 the National Parks Overflights Act[10] found that Noise associated with aircraft overflights at the Grand Canyon National Park is causing a significant adverse effect on the natural quiet and experience of the park and current aircraft operations at the Grand Canyon National Park have raised serious concerns regarding public safety, including concerns regarding the safety of park users. In 2010, Grand Canyon National Park was honored with its own coin under the America the Beautiful Quarters program. The Grand Canyon, including its extensive system of tributary canyons, is valued for its combination of size, depth, and exposed layers of colorful rocks dating back to Precambrian times. The canyon itself was created by the incision of the Colorado River and its tributaries after the Colorado Plateau was uplifted, causing the Colorado River system to develop along its present path.
The primary public areas of the park are the South and North Rims, and adjacent areas of the canyon itself. The rest of the park is extremely rugged and remote, although many places are accessible by pack trail and backcountry roads. The South Rim is more accessible than the North Rim, and accounts for 90% of park visitation.
The park headquarters are at Grand Canyon Village, not far from the south entrance to the park, near one of the most popular viewpoints.

Spanish explorers
In September 1540, under orders from the conquistador Francisco Vásquez de Coronado to search for the fabled Seven Cities of Cibola, Captain Garcia Lopez de Cardenas, along with Hopi guides and a small group of Spanish soldiers, traveled to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon between Desert View and Moran Point. Pablo de Melgrossa, Juan Galeras, and a third soldier descended some one third of the way into the Canyon until they were forced to return because of lack of water. In their report, they noted that some of the rocks in the Canyon were bigger than the great tower of Seville. It is speculated that their Hopi guides must have been reluctant to lead them to the river, since they must have known routes to the canyon floor. Afterwards, no Europeans visited the Canyon for over two hundred years.
Fathers Francisco Atanasio Domínguez and Silvestre Vélez de Escalante were two Spanish priests who, with a group of Spanish soldiers, explored southern Utah and traveled along the North Rim of the Canyon in Glen and Marble Canyons in search of a route from Santa Fe to California in 1776. They eventually found a crossing, formerly known as the Crossing of the Fathers, that today lies under Lake Powell.
Also in 1776, Fray Francisco Garces, a Franciscan missionary, spent a week near Havasupai, unsuccessfully attempting to convert a band of Native Americans to Christianity. He described the Canyon as profound.
