The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, is 1,000 feet higher in elevation than the South Rim. This elevation change results in cooler temperatures, a more forested landscape, and fewer crowds. The next time you are visiting the South Rim of this national park, make time for a day or two on the North Rim to see and feel this 1,000-foot different for yourself.
