I thought the views here were pretty nice. Some interesting ruins are just across the street. I got to talking to a road biker while at the overlook. Him and a buddy were riding from Frisco to NY :o :app: My hats off to them. They were camping at the North Rim. His buddy was doing a hike so he was riding the Cape Royal road on his day off the saddle :scared: . He said he had plenty of water but accepted an ice cold Pepsi :D

This is the starting point for the Sky Island.

There are hundreds of other protected Arch sites nearby hidden in the heart of the Walhalla Plateau.

Reaching The sky island requires an airy 30ft non technical climb up a bitey limestone face.

Not recommended to do solo.

So many footprints of what was once a thriving ancestral puebloan society!

Walked from Walhalla overlook to the ruins that keep archaeologists in the dark.

Stayed to hear Park Service talk on archeology of the canyon. Given once a day at 11:30am.

Learned that cliffrose bark was used for infant diapers! Now that's organic!

Followed the short path to the ruins, across the road from Walhalla Overlook. The guide at the TH is worth the 25 cents.

Stopped here to see the ruins on a driving tour of North Rim viewpoints.

Here's the trail brochure:
