Continuing a short distance along Swamp Ridge, a viewpoint shows off the Grand Canyon with early morning shadows..

Going down North Bass Trail a short distance, the route leaves the trail at a saddle and goes down a wash,

My route continues along the North Rim westwards.

An old lookout tower is open to climb, but with high gusting winds, I am content to gaze and not ascend.
