The North Rim of the Canyon is fully 1,000 feet higher than is the South Rim. It's heavily forested, while the South Rim is basically high desert. It's a little difficult to reach the North Rim, as it's out of the way, but it's worth the effort. The Grand Canyon Lodge is on the North Rim, and you can eat... More

For us the Grand Canyon itself was not that different from this side in comparison to the South Rim but what made this worth visiting was the access road down to the North Rim which covers some scenery not present on the South Rim. You will travel through wooded areas then into expansive meadows with large amounts of deer and... More

Our family went to North Rim on June. It was fantastic. However, it was a long drive from page. It worth it. Vista points were great. Hikes are unbelievable. We stayed one night at the cabin inside the park. At least 2 night stay would be great.

Very different from the south rim, more secluded but very beautiful. Not a great deal of choices in your services so be prepared.

The North Rim is a cool 5 hour drive from Las Vegas. It is more or less at same distance to South Rim. Having seen both, i prefer the raw, natural North Rim which is less touristy than South Rim. The crowd is too much at South Rim and thus i prefer North Rim. The views from North Rim are... More

The North Rim has so many beautiful views, and we enjoyed them all. I doesn't look like your back yard. you are talking about the ground sinking hundreds of feet below, and you can't even see the Colorado River. Overall, there are a lot of great views.

I loved the North Rim. There are many trails and some are steep but you are always rewarded with an amazing view. If you take the trail to Angels point when you are returning and the trail forks take the left fork. It will bring you to the back of the hotel, another "secret spot up some stairs" and an... More

We love the Grand Canyon, what's not to love!! The north rim is amazing, although you can't see as much of the canyon as at the south rim. The north rim is not nearly as crowded as the south rim which makes for a great experience. But if you have to choose between north and south, see the south rim!!... More

Stellar experience. We camped here in the campground. The on site lodge is fantastic but it's more due to atmosphere than service. Book your reservations well in advance - for both lodging and dining. There are a variety of shorter, level hikes for those not up for the more strenuous trails. There is also a company that offers mule rides... More
