AZ Places – Grand Canyon North Rim

Talk about cool places here in Arizona the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is cooler in temperature and a very cool place to visit and see the sites.

The hectic world seems to hold still as the sun gently peeks over the Colorado Plateau, lighting and warming the ancient rocks of the canyon. The sparkle of limestone is dazzling, as the sun reaches out to touch it. Scorching rays dive deep to the Colorado River forcing a glow seen from a safe perch on the rim. At the North Rim the more eroded and sloping walls give a magnificent view of the river below. An emerald green glow shimmers as raging white water bursts with energy from the Unkar Delta. The air is brisk and fresh at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and the views, trails and tours are as exhilarating as the clean air.

The North Rim is 1000' higher than the South Rim, resulting in cooler temperatures, a different environment and a lush forest. This natural wonder is a more remote section of the Grand Canyon, located in Northern Arizona, near Southern Utah's border and is a definite must see.

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is remote; located far from cities, towns and highways, allowing the Kaibab Plateau to remain pristine and primitive. Although this is ideal for a national park, it does have its downfalls.

North Rim services are open from mid-May until mid-October, but the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is accessible as long as highway 67 remains open. If it is a mild winter, ADOT tries to keep the road open until Thanksgiving or even as late as mid-December. The only thing to count on however, is the road being open until mid-October.

The park's historic 75 year old Grand Canyon Lodge is quaint, but it has its problems. The pipes must be drained for the winter and so the lodge must close down each year and cannot re-open until it warms up in May.

The entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park NORTH RIM is located 30 miles south of Jacob Lake on Highway 67; the actual rim of the canyon is an additional 14 miles south. Jacob Lake, AZ is located in northern Arizona on Highway 89A, not far from the Utah border. Grand Canyon lies entirely within the state of Arizona.  http://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/directions_n_rim.htm
