Don't Go to North Rim Grand Canyon

Firstly, if you ain't fond of a lengthy trail ride, the North Rim's a trek - a robust 250-mile journey from Vegas, 350 from Phoenix, or a good few hours from regional airports like St. George or Flagstaff. Accessibility's a head-scratcher.
Secondly, expect chillier temps, up to 10 degrees cooler, and drastic fluctuations, especially come sunset. It's a game of layers to keep the chill at bay.
Third, the hike to the river ain't no stroll - 14 miles and 6,000 feet elevation shift. It's for the physically ready.
Number four, that thin air at 8,000 feet can leave ya breathless. Take time to acclimate.
Five, it ain't a quick pit stop; a 45-minute drive just to reach the rim means dedicated time.
Six, plan those meals. Without reservations, you might find yourself on an involuntary fast.
Seven, capturing that epic photo can be tricky with the harsh midday sun.
Eighth, convenience - ain't no nearby airports, just a good ol' road trip.
Nine, no helicopter hoedowns here; the nearest runways require additional travel.
And ten, limited lodging options, so plan ahead.
Lastly, winter's a whole different ballgame - the park's a snowy wonderland with limited access.
Before you decide, swing by grandcanyonposse.com for travel deals galore, whether north or south. We've got lodges, tours, and all the fixins for an unforgettable adventure.
See ya on down the trail, my friend!

This channel's all 'bout the Grand Canyon, offerin' y'all tips once you're in the Canyon with must-see stops, watering holes, and places to rest along the way.
Me and my trusty steed, Jackpot, were explorin' the Canyon back in the 1800s, fell into a time-warp, and somehow ended up in the 21st century!
To top it off, Jackpot's spirit somehow got trapped in a contraption they call a "Jeep."
Weird, but true...
Cutting to the chase - to make a buck, I started guiding folks through GC. One day it was suggested, "You should start a YouTube Channel!"
So, here we are!
We got videos that essentially act as trail maps from Las Vegas, Phoenix, Flagstaff, and more!🏜️
😍 All you gotta do is watch and check out GrandCanyonPosse.com if you wanna rope yourself some deals on tours, beds, adventures, and the best grub around these parts. 🤠

See ya on down the trail!

Visited N. Rim just after it opened in May 2017. The place was fantastic. We stayed at the lodge, and I literally reserved a room the moment they were available a year in advance. The accommodation was cramped and very rustic. That was the only negative. Visiting here takes some careful planning, but I highly recommend it.

Cool...hope you convinced everyone to go South. Heading to the North Rim soon! 😂

Hope your channel will grow up soon!

What a great channel! I prefer the North Rim, usually staying at Jacob Lake even in winter when the road to the Rim is closed. The Kaibab Plateau is simply beautiful and peaceful to hike through.

Estatic we discovered your channel, as being from the valley for more than 24 years, I have yet to make to the north rim. Going to plan for this fall.

Fun video. All valid points. I did a solo road trip from Salt Lake City a few yrs ago in the fall. Came down 89 the whole way down to Kanab where I stayed the night. Next day cut over to Page AZ, checked out the dam and horseshoe bend, then headed down to the north rim. Must say the last hour from Jenny lake on was spectacular. Just spent a few hours at the rim walking the trails along the rim a bit. Fairly crowded considering it was during Covid but it was fine and still probably a lot less crazy than south rim gets. Glad I made the trek, and now I can say I’ve been to the Grand Canyon! I mean, if you’re driving from the north, it really doesn’t make sense to go to the south rim. And conversely, if you’re driving from the south, it doesn’t make sense to go to the north rim IMO.

The Grand Canyon was quite possibly one of the biggest let downs of my life. I know I am in the minority and I hate it, but it just didn’t seem very impressive to me.
