May 25, 2011--North Rim Day 2 Continued





After our day at Cape Royal and Point Imperial we decided to head back to the Visitor Center area and get a cup of coffee at the North Rim Lodge. The lodge is built of stone and sits right on the edge of the canyon. And like the canyon the lodge gives the impression of being massive. Tipper and I found a couple of chairs on the patio/overlook area and Betsy went to find us coffee. Tipper was quite a hit as several young ladies from a school in Chattanooga, TN hugged and petted him. It got so ridiculous that I finally ask them if they had ever seen a dog before? The picture of Betsy and Tipper is in front of the outdoor fireplace! The dining room certainly gives the impression of a medieval castle. And of course the statue of Brighty (short for Bright Angel) is a tribute to all the mules who have worked in the canyon. What a great place.
