School is out and we are on the road for our summer journey! Travelling north through Arizona, we meandered through Marble Canyon on our way to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon!
Climbing up to over 8,000 feet, we are back in the Ponderosa pine forest. We settled in at the DeMotte forest service campground for the popular Memorial Day weekend. Located in the Kaibab National Forest, it is just 4 miles from the entry station to the canyon.
Under red flag warnings with bold winds, the high temperature at the rim is expected to be 62* today and possibly only 50* tomorrow. We have entered back into pants and sweatshirt weather!
Completing his first Jr.Ranger program for the summer, Caleb is exploring the canyon’s ecosystem. From Aspen & Ponderosa pine, Kaibab squirrels & Mule deer, the North Rim offers a laid back view of the Grand Canyon.
