Arizona Trail Episode 16 - GRAND CANYON Part 2: Ribbon Falls - North Rim
Hey y'all, in this one we drag ourselves away from Ribbon Falls, spend a pleasant night with the lizards at Cottonwood Camp, and stroll up the incredibly beautiful North Rim of the Grand Canyon - my last big climb of the AZT! People have been in my head about the summer heat in the Grand Canyon for months so I'm relieved to finally get past it. And I'll tell ya, hot is hot, but give me 110º in the Grand Canyon over 95º in Alabama any day.
