The North and South Rim Trails are popular hiking routes in the Grand Canyon National Park. The South Rim Trail is more accessible and offers stunning views, making it a favorite for visitors. It features well-maintained paths and various viewpoints, including the famous Mather Point. In contrast, the North Rim Trail is less crowded and provides a more secluded experience. It is higher in elevation, resulting in cooler temperatures and different vegetation. The North Rim is open seasonally, typically from mid-May to mid-October, while the South Rim is open year-round, allowing for diverse hiking experiences throughout the year.
