Northbound Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim

I did a Rim-to-rim backpack in the Grand Canyon. It was such an awesome trip! I really enjoyed it. We had great hiking partners. The Grand Canyon experience itself exceeded my expectations. We had perfect weather and plenty of time to take side trips and enjoy ourselves. Going south to north is actually the best way in my opinion since the north rim is so beautiful to climb. I don't really think it is harder to do it that way since a great amount of the initial ascending is gentle.

This is only the second hike I've ever done in this part of the country, and this was the best one since it was not extreme. I'm starting to really grow fond of the Colorado Plateau. I am dreaming of an Arizona Trail thru-hike someday.
