| theronmoon | Awesome! | |
Voted 10/10 | A very cool page. I have only been to the south rim and can't wait to get to the north rim next time. Thanks for making the page! | |

Hasn't voted | The crowds are about a tenth of the zoo you find on the South Rim. Cooler temps, thicker forests, it's worth the extra 200 miles. | |

| MOCKBA | The coords | |
Voted 10/10 | are some distance NW from the lookout, so we gotta assume that this point is higher, right? (my picture has the coordinates for the tower right, I think). Thanks for pointing my attention to this highpoint, it was a welcome diversion on a longhaul ski trip from Jacob Lake! (I also hoped to find cell phone reception on the top, and my Verizon phone even showed two bars, but wouldn't connect anyway :) ) | |

Hasn't voted | The coordinates are for the Kaibab Plateau "summit". It is the only 9,200-foot contour on the whole plateau. The lookout and nearby areas within the GCNP are slightly lower (not by much). However, I did just update the page to include a link to the North Rim Lookout topo map. Thanks for the heads-up. | |

Voted 10/10 | Thanks, it just took me a while to figure out what's the story here. Drats, I passed less than a mile from the "real" highpoint on the way back (through the 4-way junction on rte 22), could have as well bagged my first "true" AZ mountain :) if I only knew | |

Hasn't voted | I am sorry to say that you'll just have to go back to the North Rim and try it again :). The HP is pretty lame, but it looks good in your stats. I'm sure it won't be tough to talk you into going back, I'm sure! | |
