The Road To Point Sublime

Point Sublime is at the end of an 18-mile one-way(I say one-way because you may not make it back), never easy, rugged road along the North Rim of  Grand Canyon National Park.  Few venture out to this spectacular viewpoint of the Grand Canyon but the effort is worth the rewards. I was a bit worried taking on this road because it had rained a lot recently which could present issues. I’ve been stuck before! Recently! Of course I started in Utah and passed through Zion National Park on my way to the Kaibab Plateau.

Grand Canyon National Park is more than just a canyon. It has beautiful forests along the rim.

Downed trees also presented a problem.

  1. Wow this is incredible. All of it! Great capture of the deer mid bound. The view of the canyon is amazing. I hope I remember Point Sublime when I finally get to the GC.
