Our early autumn morning helicopter flight in October 2012 made it easy for us to see how very different were the Grand Canyon’s North Rim and South Rim.
The average “straight line” distance from South Rim to North Rim: 16 kilometres.
Maximum straight line distance: 28.8 kilometres.
However, the road distance from South Rim Village to North Rim Village is 346 kilometres; given favourable weather, a car’s driver should allow five hours!
In winter, chances are excellent that road access to the North Rim will not be available.
This post’s sequel features two photos taken when “our” chopper was facing the North Rim.
