Thanks for watching! We offer must-have, self-guided tours to many places out west, including the Grand Canyon! wereintherockies.com/store/
I was there in mid November of 2019, and it was awesome because there were only around 5 people, and I was standing at the Bright Angel Point for like 30 minutes, soaking in the view all for myself because there was nobody else around :) Such an awesome experience. I hope it never gets crowded.
The North Rim is open from around May (sometimes early June) after the snowmelt, until the first significant snowfall that can be end of October to November.
I love the North Rim. I worked at the lodge for four seasons. I was there during the 69-72 seasons. It is how I worked my through school. I hope most of my friends are still alive and doing very well. Always Jim the baker.
While my spouse and I have visited the South Rim several times, we had never been to the North Rim until early June 2024. I was incredibly impressed with the North Rim. As your video perfectly describes, the North Rim is the better rim.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for posting this video! I've been to both the north and south rims several times. They are both beautiful places to visit but yes, the north rim is the absolute BEST! When asked about the differences between the two, the easiest way for me to describe them is that the north rim is peaceful, tranquil and relaxing as where the south rim is more akin to a Disney attraction. Thank you, once again, for posting!!
You're welcome!
We loved our trip to the North Rim of the GC! Loved the Bison, Bright Angle Trail, and the Visitor's Center at Jacob Lake is Amazing!!!
Headed there today after going to both Bryce and Zion. Your videos have been invaluable! Also, your downloaded paid guides give great information and context to what we have seen. Everybody whose traveling here should buy them. Well worth the money. We bought the guides for all three this trip and for Yellowstone last year.
Thanks so much Donald! So happy you’re there right now!! And jealous :)
As always, great information!
Y’all great!
Can’t wait to head out west. Great video as always!
👍👍
Grand !
Isent it beautiful !!! ?
I could sit on the edge for a week just to watch it change colors and draw! 😊
I must visit North Rim next time I get to that area.
As always great info, made my notes getting ready for my April trip. We will be on the South rim but this gives me reason for a second trip. Thanks for sharing.
We’re heading to the north rim this summer. First time since I was 12. Thanks for the video!
Yay! Have Fun!
I love your videos', thanks for making them.
You're welcome!
Thanks for this informative video.
You're welcome
Best video yet
Thanks!!
I really enjoy your videos! thanks to the two of ya
Our pleasure!
This video makes me want to go back to the North Rim.. been there only once...
Thank you so much for the great info. Heading there very soon.
Hope you enjoy it!
I'm going for the 1st time May 2024. Looking forward to it. I followed you guys advice on my Utah mighty 5 National Park trip last year 2023
Have a great time! I love that you did the Mighty 5!
Just came across this video today. We're on vacation from Scotland this September, and are spending 8 nights in Kanab as a base for Bryce and zion, but will definitely check out the north rim. 🏴🇺🇲
Awesome. Have a great time.
Great video. I plan on visiting and was hesitant about it.
Thanks
We are going next week. Good video. Lots of useful information. Thanks.
You're welcome. Have fun!
Thanks! Very watchable, hope to get there mid-2023 from Australia
You're welcome! Good luck.
Headed there along with Bryce and Zion on our trip out West . We have Matt and Cheryls audio for these three ( and also Yellowstone and the Grabs Tetons) which are absolutely FANTASTIC overviewsguideher audio guide. If you are planning a trip to any of these 3 ( or Yellowstone or the Grand Tetons) consider buying the We're in the Rockies Audio Guides. Invaluable!!!
Thank you for the recommendation. We put a lot of effort into our travel guides, so we appreciate the support
I was at the north rim 2 years ago, that was my first time even though I've been to the south rim many times, even hiked to the bottom from the south rim once back in 1975.
Beautiful couple❤. God bless you. Thanks
You are so kind
Truly a great job on this video, great info. We are heading there tomorrow for 3 nights from the St George area so it is a quick trip and looks like it will be a fun one. Thanks Again. Subed
Thank you! Have a fun trip!
Very nice. I finally got to south rim from Nebraska this last October. Looking forward to the north rim. You did an excellent overview.
Have fun!
Great video! Thank you for the tips! I didn't realize it would close and luckily we plan to be there October 14th! Just in the nick of time! : ) I also want to try those cookies and shakes! : )
Glad it was helpful! Have fun and enjoy the treats.
Great work, high quality, informative and interesting (Salt Lake)
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!
This video has me so excited for my trip to the north rim in July! I only have a couple days and already know I want to watch the sunset and do some stargazing, but your video has me wanting to ride a mule, too 😂
There is so much to do! Good luck planning your trip.
Great info. Just recently took a trip to the North Rim and not another soul was in sight! It was great. Subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
I’m having my wedding there, cape royal Amphitheater, and booked some time at the Grand Canyon Lodge. I found your video after and I have never been to Arizona but it has put my mind at ease. Thank you guys very much for making this video
You're welcome and what a fun place for your wedding. Best of luck!
Great tips. I’ve bern to the South Rim in 2022. I’m going to the North Rim this June. I’m going to do a two week roadtrip with my little brother ( 53 ) to show him he beauty of the USA. The North Rim should be one the highlights.
That sounds wonderful. Enjoy!
One very popular thing at the north Rim is the Rainbow ridge trail.
I’m debating north rim next week. Thanks for the video
Do it!
@@WereintheRockies just got back to the hotel…it did not disappoint
Hi, I love your videos! We are going out west the end of May, my question does Jacob's Lake campground have full hookup?
No, there are not utility hookups available.
Thanks for the tips! I'll be there in October in time for the annular solar Eclipse! Can't wait to see the N Rim at last@
How wonderful. Enjoy!
How was it?
great video thanks, will the campground handle a 40' fifth wheel? thanks again,
It should. See the official page here, look under the fees section: www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/cg-nr.htm
Just got back from North Rim, great campground to bad lodge, deli, showers were closed due to water line break should be back open July sometime. We walked all thru the campground and picked out sites we want to get. One thing if you have a van you want sites on the right so your door opens on the site, they would not let us turn around because if they need to evacuate park it is easier.
Thanks for watching and for sharing!
Would live to hear your thoughts on the weather there during middle may
It should be nice weather! You can google that question and you will find the average temps.
hi, its a joy watching your videos. Quick question: can i do a S. Rim => N. Rim in December. Are there lodges around N. Rim for overnight stay
Hi! The north rim is closed during winter. www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/winter-visits.htm#:~:text=Winter%20solitude%20blankets%20the%20North,December%201%20and%20May%2014.
Hi We are booked to go to Jacob’s lake campground this June. I hope the night temps aren’t too hot as they don’t have electricity. Do you know if you can run generators and the hours? Love all of your informative videos!! Ty😊
I don’t know about that but I doubt the night temps will be bad. It’s high elevation and gets cool at night. So happy you’re staying there. Good luck!
Thanks for the information. Is there only one campground and lodge to stay at the North Rim or near there?
This should answer your question. Three lodges in the area and several campgrounds. wereintherockies.com/grand-canyons-peaceful-north-rim-everything-you-need-to-know-before-you-go/
what kind of camera are you using? looks great!! I'm planning on going to the north rim this July
Just my iPhone!!
At the south rim now headed to north rim in a week.
We are leaving New York in a couple of days and heading to the Grand Canyon. I really appreciate your videos to give us some idea of what to expect.
So glad to hear! I’m almost finished with my guide. I’d love to give you one free if you could give me some feedback on it. If you’re interested go to wereintherockies.com/contact-us/ and send me a message. Thanks!
Message sent. Thank you so much!
I didn’t receive an email. Could you try it again?
Sent again, hope you get it this time.
We LOVED the North Rim and have not been to the South Rim yet.
It is too bad the North Rim is opening late this year. I agree with you about Jacob's Inn.
Ive really enjoyed your videos and find them really interesting and informative. What is the closest city to North Rim for lodging? We're staying at Hurricane for a couple days next month while visiting Zion and wanted to stay closer to North Rim if possible also
Jacob Lake! See wereintherockies.com/grand-canyons-peaceful-north-rim-everything-you-need-to-know-before-you-go/ for more
@@WereintheRockies Thankyou! Great blog with lots more info!
Have you made a loop around the north and south rims? If so, how long does it take you to drive it?
We have never done a complete loop around it but from the south rim to the north rim it takes about 4 1/2 hours.
Is there a place to park our RV and visit the North Rim. We're just passing through and would like to explore the north rim for the day.
Ya I’m pretty sure there’s plenty of room in the national park parking lot. Not sure if they let you leave it there or not though. Could also check with Jacob lake hotel to see if they allow it.
Shoot, didn't know that the season starts May 15th, I'm going Southern UT in 2 weeks end of April oh well ...
Darn!
You don't even want to know about Monument Valley last week....
Great video, but 3) Is incorrect. North Rim is open for day use until the end of November.
Thank you!
will a sunrise be as beautiful as a sunset ?
Sunrise can be just as beautiful as the sunset, and you will have way less crowds.
Iconic views are far more accessible from the South rim.
So when people say “easy” it makes me cringe when speaking of trails that hikers die on so frequently. Any trail where a hikers life can end with a slip of footing is not “easy”. To a person who’s heart races just to see in video, it’s terrifying…crippling. Definitely not easy, especially for someone with balance issues. Angels Point is a serious trail and should be considered as such. Thank God I watched a 4k version of the full trail.
Great info other than trail info.
👀
Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Shhh! Don’t tell everyone about the North or soon it will look likesouth
Lol! I know. Sorry.

As always great info, made my notes getting ready for my April trip. We will be on the South rim but this gives me reason for a second trip. Thanks for sharing.
