Ben's 2017 Route 66 Adventure

Day 21
Monday, May 22

St George UT

Heading for the Grand Canyon, North Rim

If that looks a little familiar, it's some of Zion National Park. We're going way beyond it today.

Much less crowded and very different scenery than the South Rim (Day 19)

I noticed that, unlike the South Rim, I found no viewpoint where I could see the Colorado River.

An unsuccessful search for a different brew pub...

...led me back to the Black Bridge Brewery.
