Introducing North Rim
Far from the parade of tour buses down south, the North Rim retains a sense of solitude. If the crowds on the South Rim make you cringe, this is where to head for wild isolation. In fact, the area is so remote it sees only 10% of park visitors. Meadows are thick with wildflowers and dense clusters of willowy aspen and spruce trees, and the air is often crisp, the skies vast and blue.

Facilities on the North Rim are closed from mid-October to mid-May, although you can drive into the park and stay at the campground until the first snow closes the road from Jacob Lake.
