MWT – Company at the canyon

I’ve been trying to entice my dearest friend Berta to the North Rim for three summers. She finally made the seven hour drive and was in awe.

01 Berta below the lodge NR GRCA NP AZ (768x1024)

Our first day we explored the area around the Lodge.

02 Moonrise from Pt Imperial NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x757)

Then later went to Point Imperial for moonrise.

03 Berta in front of Wotons Throne Cape Royal NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x598)

The next day we drove out the scenic road to Cape Royal.

04 Colorado River view from Walhalla overlook NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768)

And worked our way back stopping at numerous canyon overlooks. Just like real tourists.

To tour more of the world go to My World Tuesday by clicking here. Or come for a visit so I can show you around the Grand Canyon North Rim.

Bird watching at Grand Canyon North Rim

I am not the best birder but occasionally I get lucky.

The other day after my lunch out on the Walhalla Plateau I spotted this Yellow-rumped warbler.

Then while out with visiting company (see tomorrow’s post for more about that) we saw this (I think) Swainson’s hawk in a meadow searching for food.
