I’ve never been to the west rim. But I loved the North Rim as much as the South Rim. One people compared to the South. The South has a much better view of the canyon but I was struck how green and alpine forest it was on the North. Plus it’s at a higher elevation. I can’t say one is better but the North is cool because it’s not far From Zion or Bryce Canyons.

My husband and I are going to Vegas for a week and had 1 free day with nothing planned. We will definitely be going to west rim. Thanks for info.

you did a nice job of explaing this!!! I have been to the south rim via lv bus tour and am close to moving to kingman so west rim closer and Im fairly certain its closer to flagstaff too as its closer to kingman etc but since Ive seen south going for west sky bridge looks amazing tho Ive heard many limitations etc and I really dont like how its so wilderness no railings etc on the west but still looks amazing and only just over and hr from kingman than well worth checking out!!!

In December, during Christmas time, should I choose the west rim or south rim?

I flew with you in 2012 from Las Vegas. Not sure what rim it was. We landed and got a shuttle to what was like a western film set. A guy did amazing card tricks. We then went by shuttle to the Skywalk which was breathtaking. I also remember fly over Hoover Dam. We certainly had a fantastic time and can thoroughly recommend Maverick Helicopters.

I'm in a power wheelchair so which one should go to?

[JamesJones-ecfp]

I have been visiting the Grand Canyon for over 30 years. Skip the west and the south. Go to the north rim.

[lvfreeAdventures]

Thanks for sharing info, planning my trip there

[rodrigomejia]

Hi how early do the flights take off? Want to go tomorrow we are in phoenix

[joannpolidori]

You haven't seen the GC unless you do it from the South Rim. It would be like going to a football game and staying outside the stadium.
