Spectacular nothing short of memorable. Everyone should visit the North Rim... more

First trip to the North Rim and what a site. From the drive in from Rt 89 to the final destination the views etc where fantastic. My friend and I were awe struck when we got to the rim. Standing outside the lodge and looking over the canyon was the most incredible thing to see. Forget the South Rim, North... more

We arrived at the North Rim lodge mid-afternoon, with plenty of time to enjoy spectacular views from the lodge and from the Bright Angel Point near the lodge. The campground and lodge staff were quite friendly, the ranger talk on condors excellent. And, of course, sunset was superb. We hiked 2 miles down the North Kaibab trail the next day,... more

Really, the journey up and up throught the wonderful ever-changing forest is part the the thing that makes the North Rim my favorite Grand Canyon experience. The skies are either purest blue filled with cotton-candy clouds or moving restlessly with brooding thunderheads. The grassy meadows along the way yield views of elk and even buffalo! The lodge is old and... more

This place is incredible. Away from the traffic jams, shuttle buses and clicking cameras of the south rim, the views are 10 times better. Although lodging is somewhat limited, it's definitely worth trying to head up here (probably takes ~45mins longer to get there by car from Vegas than South Rim). There are several viewpoints within a 20minute walk of... more

It's a beautiful place. When we arrived there were no vacancy in hotel or campground. So we decided to make our best in one day, which apparently was enough. We drove to visitor center, took a short hike to 'Bright Angel Point', than to Point Imperial, Cape Royal, Walhalla Overlook, Cape Final, Roosevelt Point and Vista Escantada. At Cape Royal,... more

I made the reservation online and it was an easy process. The campground is a couple of minutes away from a trail along the canyon. The camping sites are shaded by trees, bathrooms are clean and at a comfortable distance. There is a general store with a little café, free internet, a nice little porch to sip tea in the... more

We loved our visit to the North Rim in July. We found it relaxing with a real family friendly feel. None of the crowds and traffic. We felt as if we had our own special part of the grand canyon that we could take our time to enjoy. I particularly enjoyed sitting on the verandah, sipping a beer and watching... more

This place is fantastic. Breathtaking landscapes, nice hikes and… quiet! Of course you are not alone, but it is nothing to compare to the theme park that is the South Rim during summer. North Rim is also cooler; even in the heat of August, you can enjoy the fresh air of altitude. Here you can fully enjoy the beauty of... more
