Exploring The Untamed World Of The Grand Canyon

By: Michell Cinzio

Grand Canyon trip can be really stressful with all the milling crowd and people trying to take positions for a snapshot. The purpose of enjoying the nature's grandeur gets diluted in the whole process. However, if you consider visiting other Grand Canyon options leaving aside the ever-crowded south Rim then you can certainly avoid the crowd and get better view of the Canyon.

In fact, the North Rim, the West Rim, and Torroweap are three other places where you can enjoy the Grand Canyon with fewer people and less bother. They have their own attractions, and are far less crowded than the perpetually overcrowded South Rim. If you plan your trip carefully you can better enjoy one of the natural wonders of the world.

You get a very picturesque view of the Canyon from the North Rim. It is also much cooler, as it is at a higher elevation and further north. So, you will not only cut out the crowds but will also not suffer the 100-dregree heat of the South Rim during the summer months. Moreover, you can take comfortable hikes in the evergreen forest bordering the North Rim.

You can get some great accommodation option at the North Rim. From rental cabins right at the canyon edge to a variety of campsites it has it all. For a more private and comfortable lodging you can even opt for the rustic hotel rooms at the large lodge of the North Rim. North Rim also features a restaurant, a bar and a gift shop. The North Rim remains closed for the visitors from October to April and at times May for the winters.

The West Rim has its own attractions. The Grand Canyon Ranch is located on the edge. It is less crowded than the North Rim and it offers beautiful accommodations in cabins or even in teepees. There are natural springs nearby, and it has a launch pad for a hot air balloon ride. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery thoroughly in this remote spot.

Torroweap is your place if you are ready to go that extra mile to savor the oddities of nature. It is a bumpy drive down the Arizona Strip District before you turn onto the poorly kept county road and have another hour-long bumpy drive to the edge of the canyon. This ride keeps most of the people away from the Torroweap. It is very close to the Utah-Arizona border. Peculiarity of the way to this destination keeps it deserted most of the times but the beauty and serenity of the place makes it worth the effort.

Owing to its untamed terrain and less visited location, Torroweap has no fences or warning signs. The destination stands welcoming with its wide expanse. The fact that it is less visited is evident from the traces of game trails and faint signs of the other visitors that occasionally come here. The region offers some breathtaking sceneries of dramatic red cliffs and vibrant blue sky. But while you enjoy the scenery take care that you don't drive off the road down the cliff.

The Grand Canyon is truly a site worth seeing, and for maximum enjoyment, it should be seen without crowds. By going to the North Rim, the West Rim, or to Torroweap, you can have truly moving experience that has nothing to do with being pushed by crowds.
