"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

November 5, 2011 Grand Canyon

We woke up to snow!  The road from Jacob Lake Inn to the north rim of the Grand Canyon was only cleared one lane wide.  It was a little slow going not only because of the road but because the wind was blowing snow.  The ranger said we were the first car to come into the park for the day.  The other road into the park was closed because at 18 various places trees had fallen onto the road.

There was a small visitor center and a gift shop open but everything else was closed for the winter.

A controlled fire set by the forest rangers got out of control and wiped out this area about ten years ago.
