Just past the small Utah town of St. George we'll leave the freeway, and drop down through southern Utah, past the twin towns of Colorado City and Hilldale, right on the Utah/Arizona border. These are interesting in that they are amongst the few places left in the country where the authorities turn a blind eye to the practice of polygamy, allowing men to have multiple wives. Your adventure continues through the vast Arizona desert, until we get to the foothills of the Kaibab National Forest, where the pygmy forests give way to towering Ponderosa Pines and Douglas Firs. If it is not too late or too early in the season, there is a place next to the road where Native Americans set up roadside stands, selling turquoise jewelry and other southwestern souvenirs. The road twists and turns as it climbs up to over 9000 feet, before dropping down through open sprawling open meadows and pastures in which you can often see herds of deer. The air is clean and often crisp, and soon you'll be at the gates to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon! If we have a mixed group on the tour, with some guests going mule riding and others not, we'll first drop off the mule riders at the main lodge buildings. There they'll be taken to the North Kaibab Trail, from where they will hop on their mules, and start their adventure along the trail to the Supai Tunnel, a vertical drop of 2300 feet. Mule back is the way to see the Canyon, as the sure footed creatures take you down the narrow and sometimes precipitous path. Please be aware that there are some restrictions as to whom can ride a mule. They can be seen here. If there are people on the tour who are not going mule riding, we'll take you to the Cape Royal area, home to Angel's Window, the most spectacular sight at any rim. We'll spend some time there, and also have a sack or picnic lunch at Cape Royal or somewhere else along the way. From Cape Royal we'll return to the main lodge area, to pick up the people who have gone mule riding. You will have an opportunity to see the North Rim from there, as well as buy some souvenirs and perhaps send off postcards from the tiny North Rim Post Office. After a once in a lifetime Grand Canyon adventure it's time to return to Las Vegas.
