One of the questions you might have is where most people go when visiting the Grand Canyon.
As you can see, the 2004 Grand Canyon National Park Vistation report shows that 3,753,327 visitors come to the South Rim and East Rim Entrances. The South and East Rim both take you to the South Rim. 306,926 visitors visited the North Rim and 8,066 visited Tuweep which is also near the North Rim. It is further west than the traditional North Rim.
In round numbers, when we rattle the Grand Canyon statistics off of our head, we usually answer that 3,500,000 visitors go to the South Rim, 800,000 visitors go to the North Rim, and another 300,000 visitors are starting to discover the West Rim on the Hualapai Indian Reservation. This is not accurate for 2004.
So, approximately, 4,600,000 million visitors come to the Grand Canyon annually. This will help you understand why in the summer season, the South Rim get’s so busy and congested.
My favorite place to visit at the Grand Canyon is the North Rim. I like the deeper color’s and the views that the North Rim offer’s of the South Rim. I really like enjoying a nice dinner at the North Rim Lodge at Sunset.
