June 7 - We drove the north rim of the Black Canyon on hwy 92 and had some spectacular views of the canyon and the river which in parts was 2700 feet down with very steep walls. The hike at Chasm View was through a lovely pine forest and ended at …..a chasm view.
I was holding on to the handrails at the overlook with all my might. I’m not crazy about heights and this was HIGH! Our favorite day at the Black Canyon was the ranger led tour on the pontoon boat. It was a perfect blue sky, sunny and 80 degree day. To get to the boat on the river you hike down 232 stairs and then another half mile hike along the river. So gorgeous with a creek tumbling down the side of the canyon and long views up and down the river. The ranger explained the history, geology, and the current day uses. We went with Ed & Bunny (new friends from Wisconsin that we met at House Ck Campground). Just a terrific tour and I would recommend it to anyone in the area.
