Introducing South Rim
Every summer, camera-toting tourists throng the park’s most popular rim, though most stay only long enough to ogle from the easily accessible scenic viewpoints. So why is this rim so popular? One reason is that it’s easier to access from the cities. But the main reason is that the majority of the park’s infrastructure is here, and the dramatic, sweeping canyon views are endless and usually unobscured. To dodge the crowds, visit during fall or winter.
