North and South Rim Trails
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.
