Grand Canyon North Rim

Things just don't come much grander than the stunning Grand Canyon, an immense and spectacular chasm in the earth's crust that’s been crowned as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Millions of visitors from around the globe descend on Grand Canyon National Park each year to try to wrap their minds around its seemingly infinite reach – you can do so in relative solitude, without the crowds, from the canyon’s North Rim. Despite being located just 10 miles from the South Rim (and its heavily frequented Grand Canyon Village), the North Rim is so much harder to reach that few visitors do – you’re looking at either a strenuous 21-mile rim-to-rim hike or a five-hour drive around the canyon to get there. Those who do go the extra mile (or 215 in this case) will be rewarded with serenity, a complete absence of McDonald’s and bowling alleys, and an unblocked view of one of Mother Nature’s most stupendous creations.
