grand canyon north rim, it's at a higher elevation and is closed seasonally, so check before you just decide to go. it will be way less crowded than the south rim




I considered this, but it looks like it's a good 5-6 hour drive from Sedona, and I couldn't find any lodging near there. Does that seem right? There's not really a direct path from what I could determine because there's a huge canyon you have to drive around. Inconsiderate canyon.

it's around 5. there is lodging inside the park, grand canyon lodge. there's a visitor center there, hiking trails, and a restaurant, i believe. it wouldn't be bad for a one night deal.

i honestly thought it was closer than that, but the area kind of runs together when you aren't out there every day anymore.

I'm not sure the North Rim is even open right now. The visitor's center usually closed in the winter up until May. It is much more primitive than the south rim. IMO, it is best experienced from a tent or hammock, but renting an RV (CruiseAmerica is in Mesa, AZ) is pretty great, too.

I do think there is a lodge on the north Rim, but that's pretty much it for civilized accomodations.
