Grand Canyon North Rim is an area of Grand Canyon National Park. The park entrance is located 30 miles south of Jacob Lake on Highway 67 and the actual rim is 14 miles south of this entrance.

The North Rim is far less visited than the South Rim because it is more difficult to get to and has a short visitor season from May 15 through October 15.

As a result, the North Rim is secluded and more wild. It lies at an elevation of more than 8,000 feet (2,438 meters): temperatures here are colder and it gets more rain and snow than the South Rim.
