Home Bilder des Tages USA 2001
On our honeymoon in 1989 we stayed at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and 1995 made a little side trip to the South Rim. The South Rim is so immensely busy, that this year we decided to get a cabin on the North Rim and spend a few quiet days there.

| Blick vom Bright Angel Point in den Bright Angel Canyon, der zur Schlucht des Colorad führt. In diesem verläuft vom Norden aus der North Kaibab Trail bis zur Phantom Ranch am Colorado River, und von dort aus weiter der Bright Angel Trail wieder zum Südrand hinauf. Die Hotels am Südrand wären, wenn man sie sehen könnte, in etwa am rechten Bildrand, 16 km Luftlinie (!) entfernt. View from Bright Angel Point into the Bright Angel Canyon, leading to the Colorado River gorge. North Kaibab Trail leads down Bright Angel Canyon all the way to Phantom Ranch on the Colorado River, and from there Bright Angel Trail leads up to the South Rim. The hotels on the South Rim -if you could see them- would be at the right hand side of the picture, 10 miles away as the crow flies... |
