Sherri and I hiked the Uncle Jim Trail on Friday. A very nice 5 mile hike close to our campground. Uncle Jim was a Park Ranger back in the 20's, he was involved with the cross breeding of cattle and bison and was one of the first to give mule rides.

Uncle Jim Trail
A little late with my post this week. Hard to believe that the season ends in five weeks here at the North Rim. A lot of employees are restless and leaving early, which makes it hard for a manager to run their department. I hope we have a few employees in the gift shop on October 15. It is maddening that people can't stick to a commitment.

Friday was cool and overcast; it was a very good day for a hike. The Uncle Jim Trail Point looks out over the North Kaibab Trail. The trail can be seen along the cliff on the right.
The Uncle Jim Trail is across a canyon from the Lodge. This photo shows Bright Angel Point which juts out from the Lodge area.
We got done with our hike just before this cloud turned into a thunder storm. Some fellow hikers gave us a ride back to our RV; if they hadn't we would have been wet.
