Picture Canyon
14 lipca 2019, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F
The city of Flagstaff maintains this area of natural and cultural beauty. The Rio de Flag runs through the landscape and a short canyon. The “pictures” are pictographs pecked into the rocks by the Sinagua people between 700-1300 AD. A Sinagua pit house is also on the rim of the canyon. When it was used, it would have had a thatched roof of grasses. Czytaj więcej

What great photos. Hope you are having good weather. We have had a lot of rain. Had high winds about a week and half ago blowing part of our roof off. Have a contractor to redue the roof. Just so we don’t get high winds and heavy rain before he can get it done. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Podróżnik So sorry to hear about your roof damage! So far our weather is great- we’ll see how the monsoons are pretty soon.

In 1908-09 the Greenlaw Lumber Company harvested timber here using cross-cut saws. Ruins of an old railroad trestle and remains of railroad tracks are visible.

There are lots of birds and wildflowers to see too! Czytaj więcej

Jacob Lake, AZ
19 lipca 2019, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
We wanted to see the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, but it is 4 1/2 hours from Flagstaff--too far to go there and back in one day. So we stayed for a night at Jacob Lake Inn, 45 minutes from the North Rim. The resort was built in the early 1900s and definitely has a rustic feel. On the left is our duplex cabin, which has add-on showers. The Inn also has a motel and a dining room with good burgers.

The Inn was moved away from Jacob Lake because it was downhill from the road, and the Innkeepers noticed people wouldn't drive down the hill for fear of not being able to drive back up. The lake was named after Jacob Hamblin (a Mormon). There is also a historic ranger station at the lake. Czytaj więcej

On the way to Jacob Lake, we drove over Navajo Bridge and passed by beautiful Marble Canyon and Vermilion Cliffs.

Grand Canyon Lodge
19 lipca 2019, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F
The Grand Canyon Lodge is right on the North Rim. There are also cabins and a campground. Due to the smaller crowds, it is so much more relaxing than the South Rim. The North Rim only receives 10% of the visitors that the South Rim has. Czytaj więcej

Bright Angel Point

Along the North Rim are several trails where different views are available. Bright Angel Point is only about 1 mile round trip, and definitely worth it!

Cape Royal
19 lipca 2019, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F
The winding, narrow road to Cape Royal is about 15 miles from the Lodge, but seems longer. This is the Southern-most viewpoint on the North Rim. The trail passes by Angel's Window, one of the most famous formations in the Grand Canyon. You can see the Colorado River through the window, from some vantage points.

The North Rim is 1000 ft higher than the South Rim, and because of that, it gets more rain and snow. Consequently, more erosion occurs, which over the centuries has created more side canyons and "islands" off the edge of the canyon walls. Czytaj więcej

Point Imperial is the highest point on the North Rim, at 8803 ft elevation. You can see how much lower the South Rim is here.

Grand Staircase-Escalante
20 lipca 2019, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
This National Monument in southern Utah is composed of "steps" of varied rock in different colors. From a distance, you can see the steps. Up close you only get to see one or two steps. The national monument is hard to access, on dirt roads and hiking trails.

At the visitor center was a wonderful display on the various dinosaurs of this area, many of which we'd never heard of. What elaborate head frills some of them had! Czytaj więcej

Coconino National Forest Views
2 sierpnia 2019, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F
Driving around the forest, we always see views of the San Francisco Peaks. This is a view when rain was falling nearby. It really shows the layers of the mountain range. The peaks were once a single volcanic mountain that was over 16,000 ft in elevation. It imploded like Mount St Helens did, leaving an inner crater surrounded by several peaks.

There are several "tanks" in the forest, made by ranchers for their cattle to drink from. They are great for wildlife too. We often see "intermittent" lakes around the forest as well. During the dry season they become meadows.

Some of the forest roads are not good for passenger cars. As volunteers, we can sometimes use a truck to explore the forest. Czytaj więcej
