Somehow I forgot to post our mini-version of the faux R2R2R to finish off our trip at the North Rim. (Main purpose of the trip to the North Rim: supplying the real R2R2Rers).
After having lunch we pulled up to the lot to traverse the bridge over the Colorado. It's hard to believe this about the old bridge from Randal's hike desc:
When the old Navajo bridge was finished it was the highest steel-arch bridge in the country, extending 470 feet above the Colorado River.

There weren't too many out on the bridge this day since it was a Monday so we mainly had it to ourselves. The surrounding countryside is truly amazing in all of its splendor stretching from side to side. And to top it off, you have a fast flowing river below your feet. :DANCE:
This place is definitely worth the stop and I hear there's some great hiking in this general vicinity (Lee's Ferry).
We had a pleasant drive back via Flagstaff to Phx. I will post a few pics from that drive too.

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.
