This is the lodge at the Grand Canyon North Rim. The North Rim is a lot less crowded then the South Rim. It was built in 1937. There is a great place to sit outside and just look out at the canyon.

This is a view from the Bright Angel Trail. The trail is about a 1/2 mile hike from the lodge.

Waaayyy off in the distance is the painted desert. On a day that is more clear you can see it.
