Grand Canyon North Rim Tours and Tickets

184 reviews

No trip to Las Vegas is complete without visiting the Grand Canyon. Thousands of feet higher than the South Rim, the canyon’s North Rim provides impressive vistas, trails along the Colorado River, and a better glimpse at the inner canyon, all with sparser crowds than its more popular counterpart. Highlights on the North Rim include Bright Angel Point (a terminus of the famous Bright Angel Trail), Angel’s Window Overlook, Cape Royal, and Point Imperial—the Grand Canyon’s highest point at 8,800 feet (2,682 meters).

  • Open mid-May to mid-Oct
  • Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, 86052

We loved the trip the pilot was awesome and the whole experience was breathtaking! The hummer tour with Buck wild was also a great experience, our tour guide Rene was excellent and knowledgeable about the Canyon. By far worth the money!

Great experience in the world
Everyone was very nice and greeted you The flight was very good it was about 50 minutes long. The pilot was very good. It was a little windy but she gave us a very smooth ride The only down fall is they put 6 people in the helicopter at once and 2 people are not sitting next to a window But other then that. You can’t a better experience then what they give us I would recommend them. If you don’t fly. Over the Grand Canyon you will miss out on seeing everything

People Also Ask
Q:Is the Grand Canyon North Rim worth it?
A:Yes, the Grand Canyon North Rim is worth it. Plan to catch a sunrise or sunset while you’re there—they are remarkable—or head to Cape Royal for sunrise and make sure your cameras are charged. The North Rim is also a place to escape the crowds and the city to unwind for a little while.
Q:Which is better, the Grand Canyon’s North or South Rim?
A:If you can, visit the North and South Rim because you’ll see different landscapes and ecosystems. The South Rim has iconic views and is often more crowded year-round. However, The North Rim has cooler weather, making it more pleasant in the hot Arizona summers.
Q:How much time do you need at the Grand Canyon North Rim?
A:Driving the North Rim takes around an hour, but stopping off and doing some hikes along the way is worth it. There are several overlooks like Bright Angel Point, Walhalla Overlook, Uncle Jim Point, and more, so make sure to factor in time to see these. A full day could be around 16-20 hours.
Q:When is the best time to visit the Grand Canyon North Rim?
A:The best times to visit the Grand Canyon are the spring (March through May) and fall (September through November) if you want to avoid hot summer temps and large crowds. It’s also difficult to secure accommodation in the summer, so you’ll have many more options during the other seasons.
Q:What wildlife will you see at the Grand Canyon North Rim?
A:Keep your eyes peeled for bison, deer, and turkeys roaming the Grand Canyon’s North Rim. There’s plenty of room to wander in the alpine meadows and forests between maple and aspen trees. Occasional black bears are spotted on the North Rim, but these are rare, so don’t worry.
Q:Do you need a permit for the Grand Canyon North Rim?
A:Yes, you need a backcountry permit for the Grand Canyon North Rim to stay overnight in the winter season. You can only access this area by cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or hiking at this time. You must also pay to enter any area of the Grand Canyon during any season—around US$20-US$35.
