2 Days Exploring Grand Canyon North Rim and Grand Canyon West: A Different Perspective on the Grand Canyon
Our journey to the North Rim began early one summer morning, the air crisp and cool as we made our way through the dense forests that surround this remote part of the Grand Canyon. Unlike the South Rim, the North Rim is higher in elevation and less developed, giving it a more rugged and serene atmosphere. As we approached the edge of the canyon, we were greeted by sweeping views of the Colorado River far below, winding its way through the deep, shadowed canyons. The North Rim feels like a world apart - quieter, wilder, and more intimate than its southern counterpart.
