crowding, that’s what. the good news is that almost all the crowds go to south rim. the north rim is still off the beaten path.
the reason is that interstate 40 (old route 66) passes through flagstaff arizona which is the hub for tourism on the south side. to get to the north side is much less convenient whether you’re travelling by air or by car. who ever heard of kanab, utah or page arizona? jacob lake? they’re not on the way to anywhere many people go, but if you go to north rim, you’ll pass that way. i was there last june.
“angel’s window” cape royal, north rim. (somebody else’s pic)
no crowds – no guardrails either. that’s the edge right there. cape royal again.
the first step’s a long one!
