Episode 32: The Grand Canyon: Journey to the North Rim
Listen now
Description
In this episode of "Places People Purpose," we invite you to join us on a journey to the remote North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We recommend a valuable guidebook and explain the logistical challenges of reaching this less-visited gem, situated in one of the least populated regions in the U.S. Despite its proximity to the South Rim, the North Rim remains isolated, with limited access via private shuttles and a single road, AZ-67, which closes in winter due to heavy snowfall. However, those who make the trek are rewarded with reduced crowds and stunning landscapes. We will learn about its unique vegetation, cooler temperatures, and seasonal opening, offering accommodation options and historical insights about the Grand Canyon Lodge. We will highlight Bright Angel Point's breathtaking views, geological differences between the North and South Rims, and the Colorado River's vital role in creating the Grand Canyon.
