Saturday September 27, 2008




The last day of the elderhostel. We started with breakfast aboard a floating restaurant on Lake Powell. The boat was a double decker. We had the upper deck and a French group had the lower deck. Breakfast and the trip on the lake was great.

After breakfast we headed for the north rim of the Grand Canyon. It was a great bus ride. We rode through high country pine forests, mostly Ponderoso (sp?). Every once in a while we left the forest and entered meadows. During the trip we saw numerous deer.

We had lunch at the Grand Canyon Lodge. The view from the lodge was spectular. We took a short walk to a viewing platform that had great views of the north rim. I rated the viewing platform a 3.98.


After the north rim we headed back to St George, Utah. We had another buffet dinner. After dinner the coordinators for the trip had a slide presentation of our trip. They had some great shots. We are staying at the Dixie College Inn again. I forgot to mention that we encountered some sprinkles today.
