We have been to both sides at different times and we really like the North side for its cooler temps in the summer, less people and boondocking galore. It is a longer drive for us from the Phoenix Valley but in our minds well worth it.
And the lodge on the North rim sits right on the canyon. We though about just staying there one night to experience the canyon early in the morning. I believe it is over 100 miles one way, from the south rim. Cooler weather would make the South rim a good bet.
