Get to Know the Grand Canyon
Did you know the Grand Canyon has not two, but THREE rims?- South Rim: This is what most people think of when you say "Grand Canyon." It can be crowded, especially in mid-summer.
- North Rim: My personal favorite for terrific views and the smallest crowds, but closed in winter.
- West Rim: Home of the Havasupai and Hualapai Indian Reservations. This is where the new the Grand Canyon Skywalk is located.
The lay of the land, elevation at both rims and a few tips on saving money.
