Grand Canyon - North Rim
We went camping with strangers again. Have you guys ever heard of the website Meetup.com? We'll we are members of this group called the Arizona Outdoor and Adventure Group and they planed this awesome trip to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. It just happened to coincide with my birthday. These, below, are views from the campsite - literally, so close.
A view on the way to Point Imperial.
These aspens didn't translate very well, but they were absolutely GLOWING. I wish I were a better photographer...
Aren't we so cute!?
Everyone was at the lodge facing the canyon to watch the sunset. It made no sense to me, the sun was setting the other direction. So, we went back to the campsite to watch.
A view point on the way to Point Sublime. It's the most interior point you can get to/drive to (I'm not sure) but you need a 4-wheel drive to get there. It's it magnificent?! Some of these places are vertigo inducing - even if you are not afraid of heights.
Diego wouldn't let me put my feet over the edge. I was surprised just how many places you are allowed to go without restraint.
This is maybe a quarter of the entire group that we went with. Not everyone wanted to go to Point Sublime.
I LOVE this picture!!!!!
The Colorado River. No, we did not hike down the the bottom.
And just in case any of you noticed the one-arm burn in these pictures. Yes, I did get sunburned but I didn't even get a chance to put sunblock on! That burn was from the drive TO the canyon. I told Diego I had to drive at least part of the way home to even it you. I think I was successful.

My favorite part of this post was this: "Diego wouldn't let me put my feet over the edge."
Aw. He loves you. :)
Oh my goodness, these pictures are FABULOUS! Honestly, you are so amazing. You have such an eye!
My favorite? That you got one arm burned - in the car, on the drive up. :-) It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who has that happen to her.
Camping...fun. With strangers...hmm...
You are an amazing photographer. What are you talking about? These pictures are wonderful. It looks like you guys had a great time.
