Grand Canyon - North Rim

On the way to the North Rim stop and take in some of the hikes so you can view where the Grand Canyon starts.  The Navajo Bridge Interpretive Center is a nice little stop.  Checkout the gift shop while you are there.  There is also Native American vendors by the bridge, so stop by and visit and buy something from the vendors. The pictures are taken from where the Grand Canyon starts.

The North Rim is less crowded and gives you a chance to really sit back, relax and take in the views.  My first visit to the Grand Canyon was to the North Rim.  Thankful I was able to visit without the crowds.  The North Rim was also one of the best spots for stargazing.

The South Rim has more spectacular views and more options for hiking.
