Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim
Your Grand Canyon North Rim lodging headquarters should be Kanab’s Quality Inn so you can visit other national parks on your trip
The North Rim of the Grand Canyon provides the highest vantage point for viewing the deep chasm, which is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Approximately 1,100 feet above the South Rim, the North Rim offers fantastic vistas, including Bright Angel Point, Roosevelt Point and Point Imperial, the highest point along the North Rim, an elevation of 8,803 feet. At another viewpoint, Cape Royal, you will be able to see the Desert View Watchtower on the South Rim. These viewpoints coupled with the North Rim’s fresh air, excellent visibility and evergreen forests makes it an excellent summer vacation destination.
One of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon stretches for 277 miles. It is 18 miles wide from rim to rim at its widest point and only 600 yards at its narrowest point. It is an average of 10 miles wide and one mile deep, its lowest point at approximately 2,400 feet. When hiking from the rim into the inner canyon, hikers see rock strata ranging in age from 250 million years to 1.7 billion years. Going from the Grand Canyon’s lowest point to Point Imperial on the North Rim is like traveling from Mexico to Canada in its climatic change.
