The North Rim of the Grand Canyon isn’t the popular side. It’s the road less traveled. The “it’s another four hours to get there” side. Everyone has seen the South Rim but only a fraction head to the “other side”.
But you’re missing out if you don’t take the trip.
The North Rim is beautiful and peaceful. It is the same canyon but it’s different from the South Rim. And there are fewer people, which is always a plus.
You can hike down north Kaibab.
Not a hiker? Maybe you prefer off-roading!
You can see an arch.
Or head to a white pocket.
Maybe see some bison!
Cross off hike the Arizona trail from your bucket list.
And see the Colorado
If you haven’t been, start planning your trip! There is a lot to see and do when you go further north. You can get little cabins at the Grand Canyon or be a little more adventurous and set up camp at one of several campgrounds.
Some areas were affected by a wildfire a few years ago. We were there about a month after the fire. It is always a sad sight to see fire ripped through such a beautiful area.
When you are out and about, please be careful. Be sure your campfire is completely out or don’t have a fire when not allowed. Be careful where you park your car, avoid spots where vegetation is high.
We weren’t able to go to a lot of spots because of the damage. Below are a few photos of the devastation that we were able to see. It breaks my heart.
