The North Rim of the Grand Cayon is lovely, but a ways to travel. To get there, go north out of Flagstaff on Hwy 89 to Jacob Lake. Follow the signs to travel south to the North Rim. This side of the Canyon is approximately 1000 feet higher in elevation than the South Rim, and has spruce and fir trees and cooler climates. Camping and lodging, as well as restaurants are available. The North Rim is not as well visited as the South Rim, so it is less crowded here. The North Rim is closed during the winter months, beginning October 15.
