Trekking on Noth Kaibab Trail

I make IT!!!! 9 hours of hiking to see the Roaring Spring!!!

Yesterday was ed and my off day so we went to trek the North Kaibab Trail! haaa.. initially ed only allow me to go to the Suipai tunnel which is about 1.5 hour trek down.. it is suppose to take 2/3 time up since it is upslope.. However we started out at 630 am so by the time we reach the tunnel it was only 8 plus.. hee,, so clever me, manage to persuade ed to let me down..

Ed was worried cos the day before our frenzs went down on the trail adn they took 12 hours.. when they were not back at 9pm. We started worrying for fear that they got lost of injured. We informed our HR manager who contacted the " super helpful" park ranger who said that they could do nothing except to wait till morning.. we were so angry then...

Ok back to my trip!! Imagine I was trekking with my ACG sandal.. my sports shoe gave in on the third day i reached.. so I have to amke do with super glue.. I knew i cant go far with my sports shoe.. I jsut hope that my next off day is on fri so that I could go to St george, the nearest town (About 3 hours one way) to buy a pair of decent shoe..

The trail was fantastic.. Imagine seeing blue dragonfly, and some other weird insects.. but they are harmless.. (haaa.. i am no longer scared)... There are also pretty white, yellow, purple and red flowers lining along the trail... Imagine allt hese found in a desert.. of course you can see cactus too!!! oh ya, I chance upon the fossil stone with small lizard prints on the stone.. So cool ya!!!!

The Roaring Spring is the place where North Rim and South Rim get their water from.. The water is refreshing and super cooling.. but I was expecting something more magnificinet expecially when it was nothing compared to the waterfall beside it (about 1/2 hours trekking away)

Felt such a great accomplishment that i made it!!! took a lot of photos but the computers at the employee lodge is simply too slow for my to load.. hee..
