Grand Canyon 2020
Exploring trip to the area summer 2020. Here's what I know, or think I know.
The South Rim is more commercialized than the North Rim, but does that mean that it's any less spectacular?
The North Rim is higher elevation so the daytime temps will be more tolerable. Would be most interested in The NPS campground, and while they don't have hookups, there are generator hours. So, are daytime temps tolerable?
It will be easier/quicker to travel to Antelope Canyon/Horseshoe Bend, Zion and Grand Staircase Escalante from the N side.
It's roughly 225 ish miles from North to South Rim so I don't want to spend entire trip burning up the roads driving back and forth
I'm trying to balance the trip where it works best for all of us. I'm into photography so I could easily spend all day wanting to do my thing, but I also have a wife and son that don't necessarily have the same idea of my fun.
To get the full experience, how much time should I reasonably expect to spend on this trip? I will easily have 2 1/2-3 weeks for this trip, but is there enough things to do in the area to keep us captivated, or will we get bored after a week or so?
Any and all suggestions or comments will be breatly appreciated.
