Not sure why you are going to the North Rim. Have you been to the Grand Canyon before? If not, I strongly recommend you go to the South Rim and stay at Trailer Village. The North Rim is rustic and nice but your views of the Canyon are very limited. If you really want to SEE the Grand Canyon and not just say you have been there, go to the South Rim, stay there, and spend at least 3 days for the sunrises and sunsets.
Also, Capitol Reef NP in Torrey is one of our favorite spots - we will be there again (3rd time) next fall.
