Well the weather god wasn’t kind to us today. We really can't complain though, I think it is only the third wet day we have had in 7 weeks. It was overcast when we left Kanab and as we
drove towards the North Rim of the Grand Canyon the skies became heavier. It was well and truly raining by the time we
arrived at the end of the North Rim road where we planned to start and work
backwards to the entrance. We sat in the
car for a while and then it seemed to ease off a bit so set off on the Bright
Angel Point walk. We went to the end however
it was far from bright and certainly not a good day for taking photos of wide
expanses of landscapes such as we could see in the mist. We had lunch at the Lodge, a place built in
the 1930s with a view over the Canyon from the restaurant. Whilst we were eating the rain seemed to ease
off and the sun broke through the clouds a few times.

Not to be defeated we continued on to the Cape Royal Point
and we managed to do the walk without getting wet again. There were some great views and occasionally
the sun shone through the clouds. On the
way back to the entrance we stopped at some other vantage spots. We have been much longer today than expected
and decided to stay at Jacobs Lake instead of Page as planned and are in a
little cabin in the pine forest, the only accommodation at Jacobs Lake.
