Grand Canyon National Park North Rim

Grand Canyon's remote, wild and forgotten North Rim is far less developed and sees far fewer visitors than its southern counterpart. In part this is due to seasonal closure: at these altitudes (8000ft) the winter snows shut things down between October 15 and May 15. The road from Jacob Lake stays open longer, for day use and car camping – usually until the end of November.
