Mentally, at least.
To quote my favorite timeless book, "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." I walked the South Kaibab Trail to the river back in 2000, as a 49th birthday present to myself. Nearly 20 years later, I'm not sure I could trust these wobbly older legs to get me back to the rim.
I'll accept that as high praise. Thanks!
Good to remember. I've never seen the condors. You definitely need binocs (or a 250mm lense) at the North Rim, simply because you're a lot farther from the main canyon.
Oddly, my most vivid memory of the Vermillion Cliffs at last visit was seeing an oncoming pickup/trailer trying to pass a tractor trailer who didn't want to be passed. They were obviously well into a mutual road rage situation when they came charging at me, one passing, the other pulling out & blocking. As I stood on my brakes, they made contact, both skidded off the road to my right, the pickup ended up on its side, & that driver was crawling out a window & both drivers were winding up for a fight. Instead of offering to help, I got the heck out of there & found a phone to call the police! Thirty years later and I still can't un-see that one.
