Pass the buildings and continue along the well-maintained path on the ridge.
The north rim of the Grand Canyon is less well known than its southern rim. Perhaps this is because it is more difficult to access. However, it is higher than its southern counterpart, offering a different perspective. You may encounter bison on the access road. The route suggested here is a round trip and easily accessible.
