Should You Visit the North Rim or South Rim of the Grand Canyon?

When it comes to choosing between the South Rim and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, I’ve got you covered. Listen, I’ve been to the Grand Canyon almost a dozen times and frequently visit both rims. My specialty is unique, off-the-beaten-path Grand Canyon adventures. So if you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind Grand Canyon adventure, you’ll want to check out what I’m offering. I’ve been here with a 4m old baby AND I’ve backpacked the toughest routes in the Big Ditch. I’m always coming back for more. This guide is designed to help YOU choose the best rim for your ideal experience. Since I’ve done the touristy things and the hard things, you can be assured you’re in good hands. Here are some resources to help you plan better. Support my channel - buy me a backcountry coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/megintheforest I don't accept sponsored gear or trips.

There is Instagram and there is reality. And you should be inspired by BOTH. I intentionally use photos and videos that have been edited for color and lighting, and ones that haven’t. All the photos and videos you see of Horseshoe Mesa and the Grand Viewpoint in the Grand Canyon were taken by me. I rarely edit other people out of photos (and I would make a note here if I did!). #grandcanyonnationalpark #grandcanyon #grandcayonnorthrim #grandcanyonsouthrim #bestofgrandcanyon ✨Time stamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:21 - North Rim opening dates 00:40 - South Rim vibe 01:18 - how many people visit the South Rim? 01:23 - North Rim visitors and feel 02:16 - How to choose which rim is right for you 02:40 - outro 02:47 - outtakes
