After a late start yesterday, we arrived in St. George, Utah late last night, having made a very brief stop in Vegas (where we had donuts and a coffee — very Saturday in Vegas, I think!) Today, we drove to the Grand Canyon’s Northern Rim.
I’ve never been to Utah or Arizona, and really, the beauty here beggars description. We had a beautiful drive as the red rocks of southern Utah were replaced with pines and meadows of northern Arizona until we reached the Canyon. Find Your Fade has been the perfect car knitting as it doesn’t prevent me looking out the window!
I sneaked a few rows in at the Canyon …
Then a storm rolled in …
And we retreated to the big lodge, where we had a beer (and I knit some more)
Tonight, we’re back in St. George … tomorrow we make for Colorado!

The Grand Canyon moved me to tears, so lovely to see your pictures.

Your pictures are beautiful! I hope you weren’t as close to the edge as it looked…I have major fear of heights, so please lie to me if you were…

Thanks Laura! I promise I wasn’t that close to the edge. I’m scared of heights too .. I think it’s just the camera angle. (Even in the picture where I am sitting down, I was super careful and on a rock that’s on a much longer rock – not on the canyon’s edge!

So gorgeous! In spite of living in Arizona for nearly 15 years I have only been to the south rim of the Grand Canyon–the North Rim looks so beautiful and wild!

It was so pretty! I haven’t been to the south rim sadly, but Mr. n has and said there were a lot fewer people at the north rim

That would be nice! It was winter when we visited the south rim so not too bad but in summer I can imagine the crowds could be off-putting

I really love the photos. I didn’t knit when I went to the Canyon a few years ago but I had on some hand knits. LOL It really is such a beautiful and breathtaking site. I’d also like to go to Utah one day, I’ve done a lot of cross country travel but Utah has never made it on my list.

Thanks, Dana! If you have a reason to, I definitely recommend a drive through Utah. I have never seen anything like it!

I will make it there one day! I don’t see how you can be that close to the edge though. Heights scare the bejeezus out of me 😀 I just saw all your pics on Instagram today and I am so enjoying watching your journey.
