Absolutely The Best Way To Enjoy The Grand Canyon

By: Michell Cinzio

Grand Canyon trip can be really stressful with all the milling crowd and people trying to take positions for a snapshot. The purpose of enjoying the nature's grandeur gets diluted in the whole process. However, if you consider visiting other Grand Canyon options leaving aside the ever-crowded south Rim then you can certainly avoid the crowd and get better view of the Canyon.

There are three other places where you can enjoy the Grand Canyon with fewer people and less bother: the North Rim, the West Rim, and Torroweap. Each of these places has its own attractions, and each is far less crowded than the always-swamped South Rim. Some carefully planning can help you better enjoy one of the natural wonders of the world.

The North Rim is cooler than the South rim owing to the fact that it has a higher elevation and is located further north. It gives a very quaintly beautiful view of the Canyon. The Evergreen forests bordering the North Rim make the trails easier and more enjoyable. You won't have to bear the difficult 100 degrees temperature of the summer months that prevails at the South Rim.

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.

Owing to its untamed terrain and less visited location, Torroweap has no fences or warning signs. The destination stands welcoming with its wide expanse. The fact that it is less visited is evident from the traces of game trails and faint signs of the other visitors that occasionally come here. The region offers some breathtaking sceneries of dramatic red cliffs and vibrant blue sky. But while you enjoy the scenery take care that you don't drive off the road down the cliff.

The Grand Canyon is worth seeing, and you should not miss it for fear of crowds. Just go to the North Rim, the West Rim, or to Torroweap to have a truly moving experience without being pushed by crowds.
