| no partners | | | To end my amazing weekend camping in northern Arizona, I got to see the Grand Canyon from the north rim. We camped near Mt Trumbull and with an early rise, drove the last ten miles to Toroweap. The road was pretty rough and a bit scary but finally getting to the end of it and seeing the canyon.... It was so beautiful. Standing on the edge left you with a huge feeling of vertigo but to see just how amazingly tall the canyon is was absolutely beautiful. After enjoying the edge of the rim for a bit we headed back toward Tuckup trail. The sign posted says it is 6 miles total. However when we hiked to the end of it (which was a nice easy, flat hike) there was a small trail that continued on from it. It was marked by cairns but pretty well carved out and easy to follow. We didn't get to go to the end as we decided to turn around but next time I go there I would like to follow it all the way and see where it goes. Absolutely beautiful trail as you are surrounded by the canyon looming over your left while the river cuts down to the right. The views were amazing and I cannot wait for the day that I return! |
