We're camped on Canyon Village for a night, then grants village tomorrow night. We really don't want to move so we keep checking for cancellations. By 11am we know if we need to move, and filled the morning with a hike to inspiration point and the north rim trail. When we got back a site and become available - yay!
Unfortunately the new site was on the other side of the campground. Ah well, better than 40 miles away. With some creative use of motorcycles and the car of our neighbor campers we ferried our stuff to our new site.
With that out of the way, we got our hiking stuff together and rode to the Dunraven pass trailhead and hiked up to the Mt Washburn watchtower at 10,423 feet. From there we had an excellent view of the entire park. On our way down it was cold, windy and threatening to rain.
We made it back to our site dry, but it sprinkled a little and we smelled bad so it was time for a shower. Since neither of us like cooking in the rain we has dinner in the lodge ... A tasteless Bozone Amber, a decent (but not great) pork chop, and an unassuming IPA from the Red Lodge brewing co. At least Paul's bison asada was excellent.
