Just before school got out Paul and I decided we just couldn't wait any longer to get out! We were feeling a bit too lazy to get everything together to camp and went the easy way by redeeming out Christmas gift cert. from the kids to Jacob Lake. We wanted to get the most value and it was cheaper to stay in one of the tiny cabins this time of year...and I have always wanted to, so that worked out too! We went over on a Friday afternoon and checked in and then drove over toward North Rim of the Grand Canyon to explore some. We took a dirt road we just barely explored before and drove to see some amazing vistas. It's actually just outside the canyon in the Saddle Mountain Wilderness area I believe. It was so beautiful. We parked and walked around by the Nankoweap trail for a bit. Then it was time to get back. We had a great dinner and evening forest walk...so lovely. In the morning we decided to explore some other new places and found some short hikes in the canyon that we had never done before. It was so much fun! We did Cape Final, Walhalla Ruin, Cliff Spring Trail, and drove out to Point Imperial and looked around. We tried not to do any long hard trails because of Paul's sore foot, but did these short, less strenuous ones. It turned out just right! We had a full day of it and then headed home happy and well fed!
