Anyone who visits the Canyon and looks at the books for sale in the vendors gift shops will see a book called Over the Edge: Death in the Canyon. Even a quick skim will send chills down your spine. I have myself never been able to bring myself to buy it and read it all because I know how little margin the Canyon gives for mistakes.

Thus, though the cartoon is silly and funny, I can’t laugh at it as much as I’d like.

I’ve been to both rims many times. And I agree about the beauty of the north rim. Quite worth the visit.

If you haven’t been there before you’re in for a real treat. The mountain range is full of life. Pine trees giving way to lodgepole pines Butting right up against the Grand Canyon. Beautiful. Very remote, two hours from the nearest hotel in St. George. The old mule trail starts on top of the cliff’s near lucifers throne ( The only lava flow in the canyon ) if you’re lucky, you might see some of the California condors released near by.
