Absolutely The Best Way To Enjoy The Grand Canyon

By: Michell Cinzio

Honestly, visiting the Grand Canyon can be a stressful experience if you go to the South Rim (with most people). Everyone is jockeying for position, and you sometimes feel like you really cannot enjoy the beauty and grandeur that is before your eyes. But there is a way to avoid all the crowds. There is much more to the Grand Canyon than the South Rim.

You can better enjoy this natural wonder of the world with a little careful planning and a desire to get to it in a different way. You can visit the North Rim, West Rim and the Torroweap. These places are equally mesmerizing as the South Rim and much less crowded as well. They have their own attraction that make your Grand Canyon visit worthwhile.

The North Rim features a very picturesque view of the Canyon. It is also much cooler, as it is at a higher elevation and further north. So, you won't be sweltering in the 100-dregree heat that is characteristic of the South Rim during the summer months. Additionally, a very nice evergreen forest borders the North Rim, making the various hikes very comfortable.

You can get some great accommodation option at the North Rim. From rental cabins right at the canyon edge to a variety of campsites it has it all. For a more private and comfortable lodging you can even opt for the rustic hotel rooms at the large lodge of the North Rim. North Rim also features a restaurant, a bar and a gift shop. The North Rim remains closed for the visitors from October to April and at times May for the winters.

The West Rim is an out of way spot in every sense. One it is away from the crowds and two it offers some of the most exotic experiences. You can get beautiful accommodations at the Grand Canyon West Ranch in its Cabins or the Teepees. There is a natural spring in the close proximity and a launch pad for the breathtaking hot air balloon rides. You can enjoy the awe-inspiring landscape of the canyon from this less traversed destination.

The least crowded is Torroweap. It is practically deserted anytime you go because it so out of the way. It is very close to the Utah border with Arizona. You have to drive into the Arizona Strip District and turn onto a very poorly maintained county road. After bumping over it for an hour at a slow pace you will come to the edge of the canyon.

You have to be careful at Torroweap because there are no fences. No warning signs, either. Just the great expanse of the canyon. And you can even pick out a few game trails and faint signs that other people must occasionally come to this spot. The scenery is beautiful, and even the hour long ride on the county road (both ways) is livened by the site of dramatic red cliffs and bright blue sky. Just don't drive off the edge.

The Grand Canyon is truly a site worth seeing, and for maximum enjoyment, it should be seen without crowds. By going to the North Rim, the West Rim, or to Torroweap, you can have truly moving experience that has nothing to do with being pushed by crowds.
