North vs South Rim Grand Canyon?

We have been to both North and South sides, flown over the GC in a helicopter, and finally floated down the Colorado River thru the GC--we loved it all. For a photographer, I like the views from the North Rim -- one reason is that the North Rim is about 1000 feet higher in elevation. Also don't forget the Nat. Forest roads on the North Rim--we drove them without our RV--in our truck--some will take you to the edge of the Canyon. Get a map at the Nat. Forest Office in Jacob Lake.
We really enjoyed the South Rim Ranger programs--lots of great info. What we experienced on the South Rim was that after the train pulled out the crowds dropped off.
Enjoy the visit!
