Grand Canyon National Park is the nation’s most popular national park with 5 million visitors annually.Its vastness is stunning, and the evidence it reveals about the earth’s history is invaluable. Grand Canyon National Park, founded in 1919, is one of the oldest national parks in the United States and is home to the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon, a 1-mile deep gorge carved by the Colorado River. There are two public areas of Grand Canyon National Park, the North and South Rims. At 7,000 feet above sea level, the Grand Canyon South Rim is the most accessible section of the national park, with numerous places where visitors can pull over to admire the views. The Grand Canyon North Rim, 1,000 feet higher than its southern sibling, isn’t as popular because it is harder to get to, especially when harsh winter weather closes access roads. By car, the trip from one rim to the other is 220 miles. However, if traveling by foot, the distance across the canyon is 21 miles via the Kaibab Trails.

North Rim Adventure Tours



Grand Canyon Skywalk Tour

The North Rim offers a serene and enthralling adventurous Grand Canyon experience. It is more remote and less developed than the South Rim, and so it attracts far fewer tourists. Many people think its viewpoints are the most spectacular, since they are located at a higher elevation. As a place that is not visited as often as the South Rim, many tourists are unaware that the North Rim even exists as a tourist location. The vast differences between the 2 rims of the National Park are in stark contrast with each other and visitors are often awed at the beauty of the North Rim.The North Rim Visitor Center is accessible and open from mid-May to November. The beauty and solitude of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is usually in stark contrast to what most tourists expect to see. There are many adventure hiking trails that are easily accessible during the open season. Be sure to wear the proper layered clothing for the variations of temperature or climate that you will find on the North Rim – as it tends to be lower in temperatures and has more rainfall than other parts of the Grand Canyon.
