	[[Image:Hoover to North Rim.png\|right\|500px]]After spending a couple of hours at the Hoover Dam, we started to realize we were going to be very close to our dinner reservation time, possibly even late. So, we got on the road, this time with Brett taking driving duties (Elizabeth had handled all the driving up till now) to try to make up some lost time. Enroute we tried to move our reservation (by phone and online) to a later time, but were unable. In fact, it really seemed impossible by phone, though Elizabeth did talk to the folks at the Lodge, they seemed to not be able to communicate with the restaurant staff.<br>		[[Image:Hoover to North Rim.png\|right\|500px]]After spending a couple of hours at the Hoover Dam, we started to realize we were going to be very close to our dinner reservation time, possibly even late.

	Fortunately the speed limits are quite generous out west, and the road was mostly straight highway, and I continually made up minute-by-minute. The last 60 miles or so are really just for the entering the park on the north rim, so there wasn't a ton of traffic there, and I was able to pass most of what there was and still keep a good pace up, only to find once we arrived that we were an hour early! There, in fact, was no additional time zone shift, so we had time to check in, unpack our bags, and get to dinner in good time.<br>		Fortunately the speed limits are quite generous out west, and the road was mostly straight highway, and I continually made up time, minute-by-minute.

	Our room was a tiny cabin with no air conditioning nor TV, a twin and full sized bed in one modest-sized room, and a tiny little bathroom with corner shower. Fortunately, the [https://www.grandcanyonnorth.com/ North Rim Lodge] is at 8,000' elevation, so it stays pretty comfortable during the day and cools off rapidly in the evening, so we just opened the windows while we were at dinner and it cooled right off (in fact we had to close then about midnight each night because it would get too cold otherwise!).<br>		Our room was a tiny cabin with no air conditioning nor TV, a twin and full sized bed in one modest-sized room, and a tiny little bathroom with corner shower.
