Grand Canyon North Rim – North Rim, Arizona

The north rim of the Grand Canyon is the much less visited portion of the national park. The area includes a Visitor Center, the Grand Canyon Lodge, and a number of hiking trails, including the Bright Angel Point Trail and Transept Trail. The views are not quite as expansive as on the south rim but the lack of crowds is a nice change of pace.
