As
one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon shows
impressive displays of erosion and mother earth's natural beauty.
The North Rim of the Grand
Canyon is located 220 miles from the Grand Canyon South Rim. Unfortunately,
only 10 percent of the 5 million yearly visitors travel to the Grand Canyon
north side. The Grand Canyon North Rim truly is spectacular. The Grand
Canyon North Rim is open from May through October.
The
Grand Canyon ranges in elevation from 2,400 feet to over 7,000 feet above
sea level. Many attractions are located within Grand Canyon. The beauty
of the Grand Canyon is enjoyable for all who visit.
The
Grand Canyon North Rim has been inhabited by Desert Archaic people, the
Anasazi, and the Paiute all before Europeans came in 1540. The Paiute
gave the plateaus of the Grand Canyon North Rim their names.
The Grand Canyon North Rim
is filled with interesting rock formations and Colorado River. The Grand
Canyon North Rim features six hiking trails. They range from easy half-mile
trail to a two or three-day trip to the Grand Canyon 's bottom. Mount
Hayden and Saddle Mountain are viewable standing on the highest point
in Grand Canyon National Park, Point Imperial. You can see stunning vistas
