11 Miles Apart, 6 Hrs of Driving

After a great day on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, we woke up extremely early to do the 3 2 1/2 hr drive to Page for our 7:30 am rafting trip. It was early but worth it. We boarded our big blue raft for a lazy morning floating down the Colorado River. After hiking down the Rim, this rafting seemed like the way to go. We even got a chance to see some petroglyphs aswell.

After rafting we finished the drive to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Even though the camping spots at the North and South Rim are only 11 miles apart, you have to drive around the entire Canyon to get from one to another. Although the South Rim had more to do, the North Rim had some spectacular scenery. After a winding drive, we watched some amazing colours on the Canyon from the sunset.

Tomorrow we do a small hike and head to Bryce Canyon, which I can't wait to see. We see, to be doing very well for the beginning of our trip still.
