Friday - September 7th

 First, I have to mention that our accommodations for Thursday night was in the cutest little stand-alone-cabin.  Actually there are quite a few places to stay that are cabin's.  It was a great place to stay and we had anything and everything anyone would want in a room.  So - Friday; we left the cutest little cabin and our first stop was Red Canyon.  We did a short hike and of course the morning was so beautiful.  Kathy's Dad described Red Canyon the first time he saw it as "it looks like someone sprinkled paprika on everything" and I couldn't explain it any better. 

We then worked our way to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.  We've been to the South Rim in the past and it is a very busy place.  The North Rim isn't quite as busy and is very peaceful as well as beautiful.  It was a rainy day but the rain lightened up after while.  The temperature was a bit cooler than the usual 90 degree days we've seen - mid 70's.  We went to the Lodge which is very beautiful inside and out and walked to the view point into the Grand Canyon.  We eventually worked our way to the end of the scenic point to wait for the sunset, however a rather large storm came through close to us and affected a perfect sunset.  The colors were still beautiful even with the clouds and we practically had the whole place to ourselves. 

We drove to our next location - Kanab, UT
